About

One person, from the database schema to the deploy.

How I think

Every product decision starts with the person on the other side of the screen. I design the data model first, the interface second, and the animation last — so polish never hides weak foundations.

How I solve problems

I break systems into small, testable pieces. Whether it's an inventory API or a trading strategy, I prototype fast, measure honestly, and iterate until the edges feel smooth.

What drives me

The moment something you built starts working for real people — a store owner tracking stock, a trader trusting an automated strategy. That feedback loop is why I ship.

  1. Model

    Schemas, relations and indexes come first; everything downstream inherits them.

    PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, Redis

  2. Serve

    Typed APIs, auth, background jobs and the business rules behind them.

    Node.js, Express, Prisma, Auth (JWT / OAuth), NestJS

  3. Interface

    The part people touch: fast, accessible, finished to the last state.

    React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Vue / Nuxt, GSAP

  4. Ship

    Containers, deploys and a workflow that makes releasing unremarkable.

    Git & GitHub, Flutter, Docker

  5. Trade

    Strategy research, backtesting and automated execution with risk in code.

    Python, Pine Script, Binance API
