Software Engineer & Full-Stack Developer

Software Engineer & Full-Stack Builder

I'm an engineer who genuinely enjoys figuring things out. I like taking something that doesn't exist yet, understanding what it needs to become, and working through all the messy, uncertain decisions between an early idea and a finished product.

I'm naturally curious about both technology and business — not just how something is built, but why it should exist, who it helps, and what makes it valuable. I work well with people, enjoy bouncing ideas around, and believe good communication can make a difficult problem much easier to solve. I value ownership, consistency, and doing things properly, and when I take responsibility for something, I like seeing it through from the first idea to the final result.

Over the past couple of years, I've had the opportunity to turn ideas into products like Zoopify and Selligo, taking them from early concepts to platforms used by real people. I've also gained enterprise engineering experience as a Software Development Intern at Lowe's India, where I've learned what changes when software has to operate within a much larger engineering environment.

Give me a hard problem — I'll figure it out, challenge it, and build it.
