Senior Software Engineer | 7+ Years Experience | Product-Focused | Front-End Leaning
I build 0→1 products that solve real problems with beautiful UX and thoughtful branding. I'm obsessed with the intersection of engineering, design, and product thinking—and I sharpen my skills through hackathons and side projects.
- Product Engineering: I don't just write code—I build products. From idea validation to launch, I thrive in the 0→1 phase where every decision matters.
- Front-End Architecture: React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern CSS. I care deeply about performance, accessibility, and developer experience.
- Branding & Design Systems: I believe great products need great branding. I design cohesive visual identities, color systems, and component libraries.
- Full-Stack When Needed: Supabase, PostgreSQL, serverless functions, Web3 smart contracts—I can handle the backend when the product demands it.
