Profile
I turn operational friction into dependable software.
My strongest work sits where backend engineering, automation and real product needs meet.
I build Python APIs, data pipelines and automation tools, then carry them through to usable products with TypeScript, React and Next.js. I care about practical outcomes: fewer manual steps, clearer data and systems that are easier to operate.
My current QA work on banking software adds another lens to how I engineer: traceable behavior, reproducible defects and reliable releases. Earlier automation work taught me to diagnose failures across software, electrical and mechanical layers instead of stopping at the first symptom.
