About

Hi! I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for building scalable backends, dynamic frontends, and systems that delight both users and engineers. My journey in tech has taken me from crafting APIs and event-driven systems to designing intuitive, config-driven UIs — always with an eye toward reliability, clarity, and impact.

I've been fortunate to contribute to large-scale platforms where I helped shape architecture from core ideation through launch, delivered prototypes that accelerated development, and solved critical problems that unblocked progress for teams. Along the way, I've learned that the best engineering isn't just about code — it's about curiosity, collaboration, and turning ideas into something real.

My work spans a variety of technologies and domains:

• Backend & APIs: FastAPI, Flask, Spring Boot, Go
• Frontend & UX: Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, NgRx
• Databases & Systems: MongoDB, Kafka, CosmosDB, event-driven architectures
• AI & Dev Productivity: LLM-assisted tooling, prompt engineering, MCP servers
• Cloud & DevOps: Kubernetes (AKS), Terraform, CI/CD, Feature flags

What ties these together is my focus on building tools and systems that help teams move faster, with confidence and clarity — from development to production.

When I'm not immersed in software, I recharge and find inspiration outside of the terminal:

• 🚴‍♂️ Biking along the Chicago bike trails in the summer — fresh air helps ideas flow
• 🎾 Watching and playing tennis, whether it's a big match on TV or a weekend set
• 💡 Ideating on the next big thing — whether it's a side project, a startup concept, or a new way to solve a thorny problem

These interests keep me curious, grounded, and always looking for a fresh perspective — both in life and in code.

I'm driven by curiosity, problem solving, and a love of building things that matter. I enjoy working in collaborative environments where knowledge flows freely and good ideas win — and I'm always on the lookout for the next interesting challenge.
