Creative software engineer and aspiring entrepreneur. I believe creativity is the spark for innovation, which is why I try to generate a high volume of ideas — knowing that the best ones will rise to the top. I continually experiment with new concepts and applications to stretch my imagination. Though many attempts may falter, I learn and grow from each one. Currently, seeking opportunities to contribute my innovative thinking and programming skills to help build the next big thing.

In the spirit of love month let me start by saying I’m a creative software engineer and a hackathon heartthrob (Won Best Knowledge Bot - Google Cloud Vertex AI Agent Builder Hackathon). I enjoy long walks through AWS documentation, deep conversations about Redis cache strategies, and holding hands with Claude 3.5 Sonnet (it’s complicated—we built a drawing game that ranked #5 on Product Hunt).

Looking for: A fun, functional, and slightly unhinged company to build with.

P.S. My love language is emails titled “Congratulations, You’re Hired!”
