About Me

Hi there! I'm a Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience in cloud-native application development, distributed systems, and data analytics. When I'm not knee-deep in code or trying to make an API behave, you'll probably find me in the kitchen whipping up a delicious meal or at a chessboard plotting my next (sometimes questionable) move.

I’m passionate about solving complex problems and crafting solutions that are not just functional but also user-friendly and scalable. Whether it’s building full-stack applications, analyzing data to uncover actionable insights, or optimizing systems for peak performance, I’m always up for a challenge. Plus, I have an unshakable habit of turning to Udemy courses whenever I want to level up my skills—because who doesn’t love a good “You’ve completed this course” badge?
