About Me

My work doesn't stop when the shift ends. A good part of my free time goes into trying out libraries and new frameworks, or building something of my own.

I'm a full-stack developer. Day to day I build with React and TypeScript, use Figma for mockups and Azure for infrastructure. On larger projects I work with spec-driven development, always with Claude Code.

Outside the code: I train Muay Thai — Tiger Thai is my home. I'm into racing sims; you can see me driving on Rivazza.
