I'm a full-stack developer with 6 years of experience building web products that people actually use. I care deeply about performance, clean architecture, and interfaces that feel effortless.

Before going independent, I shipped products at early-stage startups and a mid-size SaaS company. I've led small engineering teams and worked closely with designers and product managers to bring ideas from zero to production.

What I Do
Full-Stack Engineering
End-to-end product development — APIs, databases, and front-end. I write code that's fast, testable, and easy to hand off.
UI / Frontend Dev
Pixel-perfect implementation from Figma to production. Performance-obsessed, accessible by default, animated with intent.
Technical Architecture
System design, database modelling, API contracts, and infra decisions that hold up as you scale. From MVP to Series B.

Let's build
something great
together.
