About Me

Software engineer with 20+ years of experience building web and mobile products and the systems behind them. Strong Full-Stack background with end-to-end ownership from requirements to production, and experience working closely with founders and small teams in early-stage environments. AI-assisted development is part of my daily workflow (including tools like Claude Code) to accelerate delivery while keeping architecture and code quality high.

Full-stack roles across startups, marketplaces, and internal platforms since 2004
