About
Building software for a living and genuinely enjoying it. Worked across the stack, frontend, backend, and infrastructure, finding something interesting in each layer. Writing code that holds up over time matters to me. Curious by habit, always reading, always picking up something new and more interested in how things work than just that they work.
