About me

Senior Frontend Architect with a passion for building scalable digital platforms, leading engineering teams, and aligning technical strategy with business objectives.

Office Shot

My curiosity for technology extends well beyond my day-to-day work.

I maintain a homelab environment with self-hosted services and enjoy building microcontroller projects.

My interests also include exploring the fields of game development and cybersecurity.

These hands-on hobbies continuously inspire new perspectives on software architecture and problem-solving.

When I'm offline, I recharge through camping trips, cooking, creating music, and gaming with friends.
