About Me

Software Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications using React, Next.js, and TypeScript.

I've been part of the core development team since the early stages, contributing to the initial architecture of a multi-tenant production platform that processes millions of dollars in monthly transaction volume.

I also have hands-on experience with backend and platform work, including API integrations, automation workflows using n8n, and the development of AI-powered internal tools.
