About Me

I'm a fullstack developer who specializes in building products from the ground up. I've worked on real-time video streaming systems with ML-powered subtitling, AI platforms that match students to colleges, and high-performance web applications. I care about writing clean code, optimizing performance, and creating interfaces that feel effortless.

When I'm not coding, I'm usually building mechanical keyboards, or rewatching Lord of the Rings. I recharge with a good book, a run, or quality time with my wife.
