About

Engineer first, builder always

I build production web applications end-to-end—from database schema to deployed UI. Most days that means leading development at Mentr, an edtech platform where 10K+ students prep for MDCAT each month.

I care about the parts of engineering that don't show up in screenshots: data modeling, caching strategy, payment flows, error budgets. The best work I've shipped reads as boring from the outside and runs smoothly under load.

Outside of Mentr I take on selective full-stack work—usually SaaS dashboards, e-commerce, or AI-adjacent tools where the bottleneck is shipping reliably, not adding features.
