About

I'm a software developer with experience across data integrations, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack development. I've worked in small teams and startup environments where I helped migrate platforms, build ETL pipelines, develop AWS-based integrations, and ship features quickly. I'm a fast learner who loves picking up new technologies, solving hard problems, and contributing wherever I can add value. I'm dedicated, adaptable, and always eager to take on new challenges that push my skills forward.
