//About me

I build things end to end, and contribute on every layer.

With 7 years of experience spanning fintech, SaaS, and NGO tech, my priority is always engineering systems built for speed and scale. At IRPay, I collaborated with a dedicated engineering team to design high-throughput payment infrastructure. Now, leading engineering on a Canadian SaaS marketplace, I take a holistic approach, supporting the entire stack to turn complex requirements into a reliable product.
