Who I am

Engineer, builder, and technical lead with real production depth.

I started as a junior engineer in 2018 and grew into a lead by earning more trust each year, taking on harder problems, and staying close to the work.

My strength is building systems that feel clean on the surface and stay reliable underneath. Insurance SaaS is the domain I know best, but the real value is simplifying complexity and making products easier to run and easier to use.

I also build my own products. That keeps me honest about speed, product decisions, UX, and what it actually takes to ship something people will use.

Senior enough to lead, hands-on enough to deliver.

Experience

One company, four roles, and a steady climb from junior engineer to lead.

I did not jump around. I grew inside one company, took on more responsibility over time, and kept moving closer to product and technical ownership.
