About Me
I'm an engineer who builds products, not just someone who writes code or follows tutorials.
My journey started in Biomedical Engineering, where I developed a deep appreciation for complex systems and problem-solving. That analytical mindset naturally transitioned into software engineering, where I found my true passion: architecting robust backend systems from the ground up.
I thrive on the challenges of distributed systems, scalable SaaS platforms, and designing clean REST APIs. I don't just look at the technical implementation; I consider the entire product lifecycle, from initial architecture to deployment and scalability.
Currently, I'm the Founder and Lead Engineer at Quukr, building a transparent financial record management platform. When I'm not writing code, I'm usually exploring new backend patterns or thinking about how to optimize database queries.
