Who I Am,

I started as a freelancer. I built products for local businesses — on scope, on budget. Clean code and clear communication became non-negotiables early.

At Algorithm, I went from engineer to lead. Worked directly with the founders, owned architecture decisions, and learned to ask "why" before "how." Ship what moves the needle. Ignore the rest.

Now I lead engineering at Skyware IT Solutions, building software for the hospitality sector. I manage a team of 5, run four production products, and stay close to the work — from the first design decision to what goes live.

I use AI tools to move faster, not to avoid thinking. The difference shows in what gets shipped.
