About

I build frontend systems where product experience and engineering quality meet.

My work spans polished UI architecture, scalable state management, API integration, real-time applications, and AI-powered workflows — from Chrome extensions that operate inside existing websites to collaborative web applications built around real-time infrastructure.

I've built and launched products including Andika AI and Gapwise, while working across the stack from frontend architecture and interaction design to API design, database schemas, and AI pipelines.

I care about the product and business impact of technical decisions, not just their implementation.
