I've spent most of my career in startups, wearing multiple hats and working across various layers of the tech stack. From managing databases and handling critical support issues to communicating directly with customers, I've gained hands-on experience that goes beyond just code. Over time, I've engineered AI-powered workflows, built custom AI agents, and even contributed to marketing strategies and user experience design. But no matter where I explored, the backend always felt like home. I thrive on designing smart tools, optimizing systems, and experimenting with new frameworks. I believe in building simple solutions that work—and then improving them through iteration.
