Staff Software Engineer

I'm a technical leader who thrives on pushing boundaries and turning complex challenges into elegant solutions. With over a decade of experience, I believe the best code is written when we're helping others succeed - whether that's mentoring team members, enabling faster development, or building products that delight users.

As a continuous learner, I stay curious about emerging technologies while maintaining deep expertise in modern web architecture. I love solving problems that matter - from speeding up CI pipelines to architecting systems that scale to thousands of users.
