About Me
I'm a seasoned full-stack developer with deep roots in backend engineering, having evolved from specializing in Python and Go to architecting comprehensive solutions across the entire stack. Since 2020, I've had the privilege of wearing multiple hats—from individual contributor to engineering team lead—across diverse industries including location-based services, e-commerce, and medical AI.
My entrepreneurial spirit led me to co-found a startup with friends, where we built and marketed our own brand of detox drinks and food products. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about product-market fit, customer acquisition, and the realities of running a business beyond just writing code.
Most recently, I've been deeply immersed in the AI revolution—studying LLM architectures, experimenting with cutting-edge coding tools, and exploring frameworks like Claude Code. My passion lies at the intersection of AI and developer productivity, constantly seeking ways to leverage intelligent tools to build better software faster.
Professional Journey
🏢 Corporate Leadership
Led development teams while architecting scalable backend systems in Python and Go. Worked across location-based services, e-commerce platforms, and medical AI applications, gaining a broad perspective on how technology serves different industries.
🚀 AI Innovation
Currently developing an AI agent designed to democratize SaaS integration—transforming product requirements documents (PRDs) directly into working code. This project represents my belief in AI's potential to remove friction from the development process.
💼 Entrepreneurship
Co-founded a consumer health brand, taking it from concept to market. This venture complemented my technical expertise with business acumen and a deeper understanding of what it takes to build something from nothing.
Current Focus
Full-Time Parent & Independent Explorer
I'm currently not employed and have no plans to work for someone else in the near future. My primary focus is caring for my newborn daughter—a role I cherish deeply. Between diaper changes and nap times, I'm dedicating my learning hours to understanding LLM models, testing emerging AI coding tools, and exploring the frontiers of what's possible with AI-assisted development.
