About

Full-stack engineer with 3+ years shipping production systems. I build things that work at scale — from event-driven microservices processing real-time inventory across 190 stores, to autonomous AI pipelines that run while I sleep.

I use Claude Code daily — not as an autocomplete tool, but as an integral part of how I architect, prototype, and ship. I'm a fast learner, a clear communicator, and I thrive in small teams where everyone owns their work end-to-end.
