27-year-old software engineer with a passion for building products that deliver real value. I specialize in web and iOS development, working with a variety of clients to create solutions that are designed to help users achieve their goals. From sleek, user-friendly apps to scalable backends, I'm dedicated to creating products that are not only functional but also ready to ship efficiently.

Outside of client work, I'm deeply invested in side projects. I love the challenge of startup environments where I can work fast, grind hard, and iterate quickly to bring ideas to life. Fashion and streetwear are other creative outlets for me, fueling my drive to innovate in the digital space.

When I'm not coding or exploring new technologies, you'll find me traveling and seeking inspiration from new places and experiences. I'm always eager to learn, grow, and push boundaries, both personally and professionally.

Whether it's handling growing user bases or integrating modern tech like WebSockets, I create apps that feel smooth and seamless.

I build fast, interactive web applications with Next.js, focusing on performance, real-time features, and seamless user experiences. Whether it's dynamic landing pages, dashboards, or custom web apps, I bring designs to life with smooth animations using tools like Framer Motion. From user authentication to responsive design and deploying on Vercel, I deliver modern solutions that work beautifully across all devices.

Mobile & web design

I design intuitive, goal-driven user experiences that align with product objectives. By understanding user behavior, I create frictionless flows that drive engagement, sign-ups, and conversions. I've shipped products across platforms that balance clean aesthetics with functionality, ensuring users stay focused and satisfied.

I build scalable, high-performance backends using Golang. From custom authentication systems to optimized caching with Redis, I ensure fast data retrieval and smooth scaling using load balancers.
