Software engineer

Full-stack, systems, and the space between. Building things quickly that work for the long haul.
Precision in every layer.
I've always loved building things. It started with LEGOs. Then, one day, my dad, a back-end developer, introduced me to software engineering. The rest is history.
My love for software began with gaming. As a kid, I played games like Club Penguin, Poptropica, Cool Math Games, but none quite as impactful as Minecraft. Its sandbox gave me the freedom to explore and build, but before long, I wanted more. Then I discovered modding. I saw people create imaginative new worlds and experiences for a game I already loved. Their work gave me a sense of wonder, and I knew I wanted to create that feeling for others through technology. I did not know it yet, but software, programming, and code would become how I did it.
Over time, I realized that I loved understanding how things work, building them myself, and improving them. In high school, I discovered that software was the perfect medium for that curiosity. Nothing is more satisfying than building a system that uses thoughtful design and automation to make someone's life easier.
When I'm not coding you'll find me enjoying films (I'd classify myself as a cinephile), digging through record crates, rewatching Star Wars, reading DC comics, or deep in a tech rabbit hole.
