About

I'm a software engineer with 3+ years of experience building and supporting production applications. Most of my work sits on the backend — designing APIs, modelling data, and keeping services fast and dependable — with Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Python, and FastAPI.

I'm just as comfortable on the frontend with React and Next.js, and I've shipped web platforms, Shopify apps, and backend automation for clients. More recently I've been building LLM-powered features: document processing, conversational systems, and retrieval pipelines.

  • Conversational systems that hold up in production
