About

I'm a full-stack developer based in Canada, with 3+ years shipping production web applications across freelance, internship, and full-time roles.

My focus is the JavaScript ecosystem — React, Next.js, Node.js and NestJS — backed by REST & GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL/MongoDB, and AWS. I care about clean architecture, performance, and shipping end-to-end features that hold up in the real world.

I recently completed an MSc in Information Technology at Concordia University and I'm open to software engineering opportunities across Canada.

Construction Field & Punch-List Management Platform

Real-time, offline-first platform for construction field teams.

Built a web platform for construction teams to manage punch lists, field observations, floor-plan markups, and site logs across multiple projects.
