## About

I'm a full-stack developer with 5+ years shipping production web and mobile apps
end-to-end — API, database, front-end, cloud, CI/CD and security. I move fast across
the stack, adapt to any technology, and drop into existing codebases while matching
their structure, conventions and quality. I specialize in combining custom code with
the right third-party tools, and adding AI where it makes the product smarter and the
team faster.
