Summary
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years in Cloud Security and Backend Development. I enjoy mentoring engineers to help the team grow, but also thrive as an independent builder taking projects end-to-end. Though my background is in security research, I’m a creator at heart, always tinkering with AI and automation. I bring an entrepreneurial mindset to my work, blending technical execution with business strategy. Outside of tech, I love CrossFit and traveling, I’m a foodie eating my way around the world.
