About Me

I’m a senior full-stack engineer who enjoys building systems that don’t just work — they hold up when things get messy.

By day, I work at Capgemini, building and maintaining cloud-native, high-availability platforms used by enterprise and government teams. I mainly work with React and Next.js on the frontend, backed by Node.js services and AWS. I care deeply about performance, clean architecture, and writing code that’s easy to reason about six months later. I’ve led frontend teams, turned unclear requirements into solid technical solutions, and shipped interfaces that stay fast even under heavy load. I prefer a quality-first approach — strong validation, good testing, and careful data handling — because small mistakes can turn into expensive ones at scale.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time at the gym. It keeps me grounded and clears my head. I also love watching movies and shows, especially well-written ones, and I travel whenever I get the chance — partly for the break, partly for the perspective it gives. I like learning from how people, places, and systems work differently.

I’m not chasing hype or trends for the sake of it. I like understanding systems deeply, making trade-offs consciously, and leaving things better than I found them. Whether it’s code, a product, or a routine at the gym, I value consistency, patience, and progress that compounds over time.
