About Me
I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over seven years of experience building full-stack and frontend solutions across fintech, energy, and sports tech industries. I'm passionate about solving problems with clean, scalable code.
Currently, I'm focused on product expansion for the UK market at PlayHQ, where I've led projects generating significant user engagement and revenue growth. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and enjoy mentoring teammates while continually honing my own skills.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to settle into London as I have just relocated and hopefully contribute to local teams that value curiosity, continuous learning, and building great products that have a positive impact.
