Profile

I’m a senior fullstack developer with over a decade of experience in building scalable web systems and interactive products. I specialize in Ruby on Rails and modern frontend frameworks, and have worked across industries ranging from e-commerce and content platforms to real-time gaming and analytics. As a co-founder and indie developer, I bring both engineering depth and product intuition, and I thrive in remote, async teams.
