About Me
My background and what I do
I’m a frontend developer with a full-stack mindset, combining 6+ years of experience in modern web technologies with a deep interest in software architecture, AI, and the systems that shape our digital future.
My core expertise lies in React (Next.js), TypeScript, and backend technologies like Node.js, Firebase, Strapi, and AWS. I’ve built everything from sleek static websites to complex, data-driven applications — always with an eye for performance, scalability, and great developer experience.
Outside of code, I’m deeply curious. I spend my time exploring investing, crypto, and philosophy — from Nietzsche to neuroscience. This curiosity shapes how I think about technology: not just as a tool, but as a force that intersects with human behavior, ethics, and meaning.
Currently, I’m diving into the world of AI agents, LLM tooling, and frameworks like LangChain and MCP to build the next generation of intelligent, responsible software.
Let’s build something that lasts — and makes sense.
Self-reliant
I take ownership of projects and solve problems independently, while knowing when to seek guidance.
Feedback-driven
I actively seek and incorporate feedback, valuing different perspectives to improve my work.
Holistic thinker
I approach development by considering the entire system, user experience, and long-term maintainability.
