Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building product-driven solutions and scaling complex systems.
I work across the full stack, with strong experience in frontend architecture and product development. Over time, I've taken ownership of core product areas, contributing not just to implementation but also to product decisions and prioritization.
Currently, I'm one of the early engineers at a Y Combinator startup, where I help shape both the technical architecture and the product roadmap. I work closely with the CEO, CTO, and team to evaluate trade-offs and decide what's worth building.
I care a lot about UI/UX and enjoy turning complex requirements into simple, intuitive experiences. I'm especially interested in the intersection of engineering and product, where small decisions can have a big impact on usability and speed.
Core skills: JavaScript / TypeScript, React, React Native, Node.js, GraphQL, frontend and backend architecture, system design.
