About Me

I build distributed systems, full-stack products, and AI-powered applications that work at scale. After my Bachelor's in CS, I pursued an MBA in Finance to understand the business and human context behind technology — it's what drives me to build systems that are not just technically sound, but actually useful to real people.

My expertise spans backend APIs, distributed databases, mobile-first applications, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered user experiences. I enjoy solving real-world problems through code — from building distributed DuckDB extensions to deploying inclusive Chrome Extensions for neurodivergent users.
