About me

{

I'm a Software Developer with over 5 years of experience building applications that need to work reliably and scale efficiently.

I focus on writing maintainable code that's clear, well-structured and straightforward to modify. Codebases evolve, what makes sense today needs to remain workable tomorrow. Clean naming, thoughtful organization, and solid tests make it easier for anyone to understand and extend a system.

I'm fascinated by the economics of software: how architectural choices determine whether you can scale from a handful of users to millions without exponentially increasing costs. The best solutions grow proportionally with actual usage.

Comfortable across the stack and at home in the terminal (yes, I can exit Vim), I stay current with tools and practices that meaningfully improve how software gets built and maintained.
