About Me
I am an Explorer first, driven by curiosity and the desire to build things that matter. With an entrepreneurial spirit at my core, I approach engineering not just as writing code, but as building solutions. Currently, I channel this energy as a Senior Software Engineer at Thera (YC S22), where I architect scalable frontend systems. My journey has been defined by founding startups, consulting for enterprises, and constantly exploring new technologies to solve real-world problems.
