Engineer & Consultant

Building software since 2014

Background

I am a senior frontend and full-stack software engineer with a track record of building reliable, maintainable systems. My career began over a decade ago, with foundational experience working in Research & Development at Konami Gaming. That environment instilled a rigorous approach to software quality and systems architecture.

Since then, I have specialized in the modern web ecosystem, primarily focusing on React, TypeScript, and Firebase. I have architected and delivered everything from complex internal dashboards to production business software and developer tooling.

Engineering Philosophy

My approach to software engineering prioritizes maintainability and pragmatism over the pursuit of the latest hype. I believe that good code should be boring—predictable, easy to read, and robust in production.

I view AI and modern tooling through a practical lens. AI-assisted workflows are powerful accelerators, but they require strict architectural constraints, structured data schemas, and transparent interfaces to be safely integrated into business systems. I build tools that leverage these capabilities without compromising on reliability.
