About Me

Hello there...
I am a staff full-stack engineer with a wide technical range and a deep love for problem-solving. I've spent my career designing and building systems that scale — from frontend architecture and performance-critical user experiences to backend platforms, APIs, and infrastructure. I'm most at home in complex, ambiguous spaces, and I'm known for jumping in wherever the challenge is hardest. I care deeply about craft, reliability, and clarity - building systems that are not only powerful, but understandable and maintainable by the teams who own them. Whether I'm working on a greenfield project or untangling an existing system, I approach problems with curiosity, empathy, and a long-term mindset. Off the keyboard, I'm hiking Colorado 14ers with my dog, Samosa. Same mindset, different terrain: patience, persistence, and enjoying the journey.
A work in progress...
You've caught me mid-migration! 🏗️ Much like refactoring legacy code, this site is getting a thoughtful overhaul. The old version served me well (like that trusty monolith we all know), you can see the old code here and visit it here. It was a good run, but it's time for something more scalable, maintainable, and fun. Think of it like moving into a new apartment while also rewriting the architecture — the essentials are here and deployed, but I'm still unpacking boxes and deciding where the art goes. Some features are live, others are in PR review, and a few are still on the backlog. Want to see the code? Check out my GitHub repository for the new site. Thanks for being patient while I ship this incrementally, one commit at a time. Promise it will be worth the wait! ✨🚀
