About Me

I'm a passionate Full Stack Software Engineer who enjoys building reliable, scalable web and mobile applications. My work centers around crafting production-ready SaaS systems using React, React Native, and AWS, with a strong emphasis on clean architecture, developer experience, and performance.

Outside of my main work, I'm committed to lifelong learning — currently exploring Rust and systems-level development. I built a small Snake game using Rust and WebAssembly to deepen my understanding of Rust for web applications, and I'm developing a high-performance backend API with Axum to gain hands-on experience with Rust for backend systems. I enjoy exploring new technologies and stepping outside my comfort zone, using those experiences to continuously improve both the systems I build and how I build them.

I value clear communication, collaboration, and craftsmanship. I write self-documenting code and maintain well-structured documentation to support long-term project scalability. I also enjoy sharing development knowledge with teammates, helping refine engineering processes, and delivering high-quality solutions even in demanding situations.
