A Little About Me

I’m a full-stack software engineer with a passion for learning new technologies, keeping up with tech trends, and discovering unexpected connections between software engineering and seemingly unrelated fields. Take backend and frontend development, for example: two closely related yet distinct disciplines within software engineering. Many assume backend is for the “calculated types” and frontend is for the “creative types,” but we, as full-stack developers, know they’re just two sides of the same coin.

I’m driven by the excitement of building something new—something that makes people say, “Wow, that’s awesome!” or “Finally, an app that solves my problem.” I believe creativity isn’t just innate; it can be nurtured through effort, time, and, most importantly, fun. That’s why I’m always exploring new hobbies, whether they’re software-related or not.

I’m someone who enjoys trying new things, whether it’s a new tech stack (Astro started out that way for me!) or a new hobby like axe throwing. This love for exploration helps me stay on top of trends, remain agile and open-minded, and tap into my creative side. I’m constantly reminded of the thrill of being a learner and the inspiration that comes from those who have mastered their craft.

To stay active, I practice boxing and other martial arts, go jump roping, or head out for a run. When it’s time to unwind, I enjoy diving into a good book, watching a great movie, or playing video games to relax.
