8+ years of experience. Full stack engineer with nearly a decade of shipping software that people actually use. I've worn a lot of hats — frontend, backend, DevOps, data, a bit of blockchain, and more recently AI — and I've come to love the messy middle where all of those meet. I care about clean systems, calm deploys, and writing code my teammates thank me for a year later. Happiest on small teams that move quickly, take ownership, and leave things better than they found them.
