About Me

Full-Stack Engineer · Front-End Developer · Cloud-Native Automation Architect

Overview

I architect high-fidelity, data-driven applications that bridge the gap between complex backend automation and intuitive user experiences. With a 10-year programming background and 3 years of professional engineering, I specialize in crafting performant interfaces, leveraging modern tools like React, TypeScript, and Python in AWS and GCP. My work primarily focuses on transforming fragmented, unstructured data into streamlined tools — from building serverless ETL pipelines to designing intuitive UIs.
