About Me

Passionate about Building Solutions

I'm a 37-year-old Senior Full Stack Developer with a passion for turning complex business problems into elegant software solutions. Since 2013, I've successfully worked across the entire stack — from frontend to backend, API integration, databases, and DevOps.

In some companies, I was the sole developer carrying full responsibility, while in others I grew into a mentor and team lead. I've delivered multiple projects independently and as a senior member of development teams.
