Full-Stack Web Developer

Building responsive, modern web applications with React, Node.js, and Tailwind CSS.

About

I'm a developer with 10+ years of technical experience building complex systems. I recently transitioned into web development after shipping a commercial game and working at IBM Research on AI-driven platforms.

My background in C# and systems architecture gives me a strong foundation for building scalable, maintainable web applications. I'm drawn to projects that combine technical challenges with creative problem-solving.

When I'm not coding, you can find me composing music, working on game prototypes, or exploring new technologies.
