Engineer first.
Speaker because of it.
I specialize in frontend development, with deep expertise in React, Next.js, and payment systems.
Today I split my time between deep engineering work, mentoring engineers who want to grow, and talking on stages around the world about what actually works in production.
A decade, measured
My Journey
The Beginning
My path to software engineering wasn't traditional. I started as a CrossFit instructor before discovering my passion for coding through a bootcamp.
Career Growth
I've worked at companies across Connected TV, fitness tech, SaaS, and fintech, eventually rising to Staff Engineer and Engineering Manager roles.
Today
I focus on helping developers build better software through speaking, teaching, and open source contributions. I'm particularly passionate about making complex topics like payment systems and performance optimization accessible to everyone.
