Software Engineer

Engineering solutions to complex problems.

About

I'm a back-end focused software engineer who gets excited about solving complex engineering challenges. What really drives me is seeing how companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI tackle problems that seem impossible. They don't just solve problems, they reimagine what's possible.

Currently working with Kotlin, Java, and TypeScript. I like writing code that's clean and efficient, the kind that makes sense when you revisit it months later. If you're working on something ambitious that needs solid backend infrastructure, I'd love to hear about it.
