About Me
I’m a software engineer with over 10 years of experience, and have worked at both small startups and large organizations. While I’m a proficient backend(Golang) developer, my expertise is in building scalable web and cloud-native applications.
I love building things. While hard engineering problems are often intrinsically fun to tackle, I’m most attracted to solving real customer problems with a business justification.
