About Me

Efficiency-Obsessed Problem Solver

I help users achieve their goals faster, easier, and more systematically by building software that delivers real value. With 6+ years of experience in full-stack development (TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Python, Dart, Java, Lua, SQL), I focus on robust architecture, clean code, and rapid adoption of new tools.

What sets me apart is my obsession with efficiency and automation โ€” constantly optimizing workflows, creating solutions for repetitive tasks, and improving productivity by even 1% every day. I customize my tools, like Neovim, and maintain systems that allow me and my team to work smarter, faster, and more effectively.

I thrive on turning ideas into reality, tackling customer problems head-on, and building solutions that truly impact lives. My career ambition is to grow through entrepreneurship and leadership, guiding teams and products that make a meaningful difference.

In short: I make ideas come to life quickly, efficiently, and with lasting impact.
