Full-Stack Developer (Contractor)

I like to build things.

About

Since before I can remember, I loved anything tech. I would spend hours exploring the depths of my father's desktop, trying to figure out how the games I used to play and Windows (the operating system) functioned. Lost count of how many times I bricked the system.

Fast-forward a few years, I got my first internship at 16 years old, as a C++ game engine developer at a small corporation. Afterwards, I transitioned to full-stack web development, working on various stacks until landing on React and Express, alongside Typescript.

My main focus these days is building web products as a contractor. In my free time I'm also working on various personal projects. Check them out below ↓

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually hanging out with my wife, enjoying a cold brew tonic, or studying audio synthesis.
