About me

I’m a versatile software engineer based in Toronto, ON, with hands-on expertise in full-stack development, QA testing, and crafting scalable web applications. When I’m not architecting seamless user experiences or translating business needs into tech solutions, I channel that same intensity into my passions: dominating the soccer field, pushing limits as a fitness fanatic, diving into Web3 technology and crypto trading, and fueling my nomadic spirit through travel. My adaptability extends beyond code—I thrive in fast-paced environments, whether iterating in agile teams or exploring new horizons. Open to opportunities that blend innovation with adventure.
