About Me
Software engineer focused on building reliable production systems across backend, platform, and full-stack development.
My Journey
I'm an early-career software engineer with a Computer Science background and hands-on experience working on production systems at Rokt. I've contributed to backend services, experimentation tooling, and monitoring workflows using technologies such as Go, Python, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and React.
I'm motivated by opportunities to learn from strong engineering teams and build software that is reliable, useful, and maintainable. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new technologies and continuing to sharpen my craft through practical projects.
