About

A little bit about me.

I am a software engineer drawn to customer-facing technical problems: building AI-native products, architecting end-to-end solutions, and turning complex systems into accessible tools.

Outside of work, I like building projects from scratch and thinking about markets, strategy, and how small product decisions turn into real user behavior.

Away from the screen, I am usually playing chess or poker, surfing when I can, or mountain biking somewhere with enough dirt to make it interesting.
