Fullstack Developer | AI Enthusiast | Tech Leader
More than code — I build solutions with purpose.
I'm a fullstack developer with over 5 years of experience building scalable, modern applications and integrating AI-powered features into real-world solutions. I’ve worked on everything from microservices and cloud architectures to design systems and intelligent automation, leading end-to-end development across teams and clients.
I’m passionate about creating tech that’s clean, modular, and future-proof — whether that means crafting efficient APIs, building UI components from scratch, or deploying services in production with confidence.
I also founded Vanillabyte, where I currently lead projects from concept to deployment.

I was the first and only intern ever hired full-time at my first company, based on merit and problem-solving — and I’ve been building ever since.
