My Story

I'm a passionate software engineer who thrives in fast-paced startup environments where innovation meets impact. My journey began with a Chemical Engineering degree from UC San Diego, but I found my true calling in software development.

What drives me is the ability to transform complex problems into elegant solutions that users love. Whether it's building a mobile app that reaches 500K+ users or developing web platforms that handle millions of transactions, I focus on creating products that make a real difference.

My expertise spans the full spectrum of frontend and mobile development, from React and TypeScript to React Native and Node.js. I've had the privilege of working with amazing teams at companies like CoinTracker, Authentic8, and Digilens, where I've contributed to products that have generated millions in revenue and served users worldwide.
