I'm a passionate software developer with 3+ years of well-rounded industry experience in web, backend, infrastructure, iOS/Android, and game development.

I'm product-minded and believe that cross-functional collaboration saves so much time and leads to superior user experiences.

On the technical front, I'm always curious about the various tradeoffs in architecture, database and API for creating future-proof applications, optimizing performance, and saving $$.
