About

Hi there! I’m a Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience turning big ideas into real-world solutions. Whether it’s building sleek, scalable apps or leading a team of talented developers, I thrive on solving complex problems and creating impactful technology.


I’ve worn many hats over the years—startup co-founder, hackathon enthusiast, mentor, and community leader. Along the way, I’ve worked with cutting-edge tools, while diving deep into cloud computing, AI/ML, and DevOps. What keeps me going? The joy of crafting tech that makes life easier, smarter, and a little more exciting.

What I’m Great At

🚀 Building Things That Work : From responsive websites to complex mobile apps, I make sure every project delivers on its promise.

🚀 Leading Teams : I love empowering people to do their best work and making sure we all hit our goals together.

🚀 Harnessing the Cloud : AWS, Azure, DevOps pipelines—you name it, I’ll make it sing.

🚀 Bringing Data to Life : AI and machine learning aren’t just buzzwords for me; they’re tools I use to create smarter systems.

🚀 Keeping Things Agile : Iterative, user-focused, and always improving—that’s my style.
