software solutions
Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building production-grade web apps, mobile apps, and scalable cloud architectures.
Shipping software since 2020
I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for building things that work well at scale. What started as writing PHP scripts in 2020 has grown into architecting full-stack systems across React, Node.js, and AWS at CapeStart.
Over the past five years I've shipped 15+ client projects from small startups to large enterprises, including e-commerce platforms processing real payments, Flutter apps with offline-first sync, analytics dashboards crunching millions of events on ClickHouse, and CI/CD pipelines running on Kubernetes.
I care about clean code, fast feedback loops, and building things that actually help people. If that sounds like your kind of engineer, let's talk.
