About

I’m a software engineer passionate about designing scalable, reliable systems that power seamless user experiences. My focus is on building robust backend architectures and integrations that support high-performance applications. I thrive in creating efficient solutions that are both technically sound and aligned with business goals.

Currently, I’m a Senior Software Engineer, specializing in backend development and system architecture. I contribute to designing and optimizing core APIs, managing critical integrations like authentication and payment systems, and ensuring the scalability of our applications.

In the past, I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from developing backend systems to creating UIs and optimizing web pages for better load times.

In my spare time, I’m usually reading something watching movies.
