How I Work

Principles that drive every line of code I write.

Full Ownership

I own features end-to-end: from Postgres schema design to React component architecture to CI/CD pipeline. No handovers, no excuses.

Testing-First

Automated testing isn't an afterthought. Jest unit tests, Playwright E2E, and thorough debugging are baked into my workflow from day one.

Core

Ship Fast, Ship Right

Migrated a full ERP to Clean Architecture in under 2 weeks. Speed without sacrificing quality — measurable through code reviews and test coverage.

Tech Stack

Building scalable applications with type-safe, battle-tested technologies.
