About

Turning ideas into
products people use

I'm a software engineer and founder based in the U.S., focused on building tools that make commerce better. My current project, GiftShop, is a Shopify app that transforms how brands send and manage gifts.

I work across the full stack — React, TypeScript, Node, AWS — and care deeply about performance, design, and shipping fast. When I'm not coding, I'm usually training, tracking my health with Whoop, or exploring what's next.
