About
Building things that actually work
I'm a Software Engineer who cares about the details. I like building systems that feel great to use and don't break, whether I'm working on backend architecture or tweaking a UI.
Lately, I've been deep diving into AI. Not just playing with cool models, but figuring out how to turn them into real tools that solve actual problems without feeling like a gimmick.
When I'm not writing heavy code, I love partnering with local businesses to build websites that look amazing and bring in real results.
