    / About

    I build software that simplifies complex systems into intuitive, high-performance products. As a full-stack engineer, I design scalable backend architectures and data models while delivering fast, polished web and mobile interfaces.

    My current focus is on building systems that operate reliably at scale, with a growing interest in the intersection of Bitcoin and AI—particularly where decentralization meets intelligent automation.

    Outside of engineering, I spend time playing tennis, reading, coffee brewing, contributing to open source, and exploring different countries and cultures.
