I started my professional path in civil engineering before transitioning into software development, where I found a stronger fit for systems thinking, problem solving, and building practical solutions.

Today I focus on backend engineering, ecommerce platforms, and integrations that support real business operations. I care about reliability, maintainability, and making software work well for both teams and the people who depend on it.
