About Me

Over the past decade I've designed and implemented software systems across startups and enterprise environments, contributing to projects involving organizations such as Apple, Samsung, IBM and most recently large-scale consumer platforms, global media streaming services, and high-traffic mobile applications used by millions of users worldwide. My work is a mix of backend engineering, mobile platforms, and AI systems. I enjoy building production systems that combine modern infrastructure with practical automation.
