My Career So Far

I started my career in operations, learning to solve real-world problems with data in high-pressure environments in logistics and distribution.
This foundation sparked a move into software, where I've since shipped full-stack products with end-users. I now focus on building and maintaining scalable, cloud-native systems—translating complex business needs into robust, user-friendly solutions for SMEs.
