I build full-stack products end to end — from the TypeScript running on a tablet in a commercial kitchen to the Terraform that provisions the AWS infrastructure behind it. Most of my work has been embedded inside client organizations: learning unfamiliar domains fast, owning delivery from scoping through production. Math degree; it shows in how I model data and reason about edge cases.
