Software Engineer

I’m an optimistic and hardworking software engineer who firmly believes success is 90% work and 10% luck.
I love building cool stuff and delivering it to customers—faster, better, and with a little style. While I proudly call myself a backend engineer, I’m not afraid to break the front-end or infrastructure when the job demands it.
