About me

PROFESSIONAL PATH

With over 4 years professionally building developer tools and optimized systems, I create seamless workflows that empower. My solutions have aided game developers, engineers, and creators across organizations to innovate with ease. Whether crafting pipelines for startups or global brands like Nickelodeon, I address pain points through automation and process refinement.

I'm motivated by crafting intuitive tools that pave the way for better products. My specialty is identifying workflows and transforming manual workarounds into integrated solutions embraced by users. As I further hone my expertise across languages like TypeScript and platforms like Bitbucket, I'm seeking new challenges in engineering roles focused on platform development.

I pride myself on creating supportive ecosystems so that you can focus on groundbreaking end-user experiences. If you value both behind-the-scenes optimization and customer-focused products, let's connect.
