Read MoreI'm a full-stack developer who codes with the same attention to detail I bring to recording a guitar track—every line matters, every element needs to hit just right. I build web applications that don't just work, they feel intentional, polished, and ready to solve real problems.
Web development clicked for me during third year Computer Engineering in a Software Design course. I loved that I could build anything, so I taught myself the practical side beyond what school offered.
