Good engineering connects the architecture to the people using it.
I’m a software engineer with experience across backend, full-stack, mobile, and frontend development. That range shapes how I work: from the service and its data to the interface it supports.
Today, my focus is backend systems and AI. At AUI, I build agents, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, secure APIs, and event-driven services. Before that, I spent four years at Daloopa building Python services and React products.
