👋 Hi, I'm a software engineer with over a decade of experience building thoughtful, maintainable software. I currently work at a startup - Featured.com, where I enjoy tackling complex challenges and contributing to products that move fast but are built to last. Before Featured, I worked at a multinational investment bank, where I learned the value of stability, scale, and clear-thinking under pressure. I take pride in anticipating problems early, finding practical solutions, and writing code that’s easy to live with long-term. I'm also quick to pick up new tools and ideas—something I find essential in today’s ever-evolving tech landscape.

I lead the team in strategy, product and design. Constantly developing new product integrations & designs while working on new strategies to ensure that our work product & operations are always leveled with our ever evolving industry.
