What I Do

I’m a Principal Engineer who turns ideas into real, useful products. I’m good at setting a clear vision and guiding teams to build things that work. I specialize in creating complex systems and writing clean code.

I've built scalable distributed systems, intelligent, secure and multitenant control planes and various business domains related to travel, e-commerce and developer tools. I'm an active open-source contributor and advocate for collaborative, democratic software development. Currently, I'm building agentic applications powered by large language models. I'm excited about how autonomous workflows can transform how we build and use intelligent systems.

Beyond coding, I’m a curious thinker who loves to understand how and why things work. I follow the scientific method in how I explore the world. When I’m not working on tech or geeking out on science, I enjoy fixing things at home, playing sports outside, or listening to my family’s stories and challenges.

What I Believe In

I follow a set of core principles that guide my decisions. Whenever I face a meaningful choice—whether it’s about work, relationships, or how I spend my time, money, or energy—I turn to these principles. They’re deeply personal, but I’m sharing them in the hope that they offer insight into how I think and make decisions.
