I build and scale cloud-native platforms in healthcare and fintech — systems trusted at real production scale, with compliance baked in at every layer.

01 About

Engineer who ships production systems, not side projects.

Over the past five years, I’ve built and shipped cloud-native applications across healthcare, fintech, and inventory management. My stack centers on Node.js, React, and AWS — but the real constant is an obsession with systems that hold up under pressure.

I take ownership from architecture to monitoring. Whether it’s HIPAA-compliant healthcare platforms or Slack-integrated financial automation that replaced 70% of manual workflows, I build software that earns trust from the first deploy.
