About Me
With 5 years of experience as a full-stack engineer, my focus is building seamless web and mobile apps with Vue, Nuxt, React, and React Native via Expo, alongside the scalable backend services that power them.
Beyond writing application code, managing the deployment lifecycle is a core part of my work. Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and self-hosted GitHub Actions are my go-to tools for running smooth GitOps workflows.
I'm also really passionate about open source and actively maintain several libraries that solve complex data and workflow challenges for other developers.
