// about

Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years across the full stack — backend-heavy by training, but comfortable owning frontend when the product needs it. Currently at GXBank building Go microservices engineered for 99.99% availability under real-time financial transaction load.

I've shipped across fintech, edtech, and e-commerce — from resolving critical race conditions and cutting SQL query times by 97.5%, to leading 0-to-1 product builds with Vue.js frontends, Laravel backends, and teams of 5–6 engineers.

Comfortable working with AI-assisted development — using LLM tooling day-to-day to move faster on repetitive work, think through problems, and keep focus on what actually matters. Still very much learning, but it's become a natural part of how I work.
