About Me
I'm a full-stack developer with an obsession for detail and a belief: the code nobody sees matters just as much as the design everyone does. I specialize in React and JavaScript, at the intersection where engineering and design become the same thing.
I train Muay Thai. I play chess. Both make me better at what I do.

modules for a real estate investment platform in React — JWT authentication, global state with Redux, and business logic that leaves no room for errors.A change in API call strategy cut load times by 20%. No magic — just understanding what to request, when, and what to hold off on.

Led the migration from React to Next.js — SSR, better SEO, and 30% more organic traffic. Sometimes the best technical decision is the one nobody notices because it just works.Built apps with Electron.js, modules with Python + MongoDB, and integrations with GA4/GTM. Also designed MongoDB schemas with Mongoose, because a bad data model always comes back to haunt you.
