Bio

I turn complex problems into simple, scalable systems. Backend-first, but comfortable across the stack. I focus on performance, clean code, and building things that actually work. I love working on challenging things that bring a real change to someone and matters to them, no matter how small.

WordPress Origin Story

I started working with WordPress during university while interning at rtCamp. What began as learning the ecosystem quickly turned into building custom Gutenberg blocks, working with full-site editing, and shipping production features. Over time, I focused more on performance, scalability, and treating WordPress as an engineering problem rather than just a CMS.
