About

I'm a full-stack developer with a love for problem solving and learning new things. I am looking for an opportunity in full-stack roles.

I'm drawn to problems where structure matters — where decisions around architecture, data flow, and abstraction directly shape how a product evolves. That reflects in how I build — not just by writing code, but by designing systems that make sense and feel genuine.

I question things and how they fit together. Chasing those questions, I started my journey with Physics, but life had other plans, so I taught myself full-stack development — no bootcamp, no silver spoon, just a lot of late nights and broken builds, and an obsession. I tend to approach things from first principles, and focus on structural clarity.

Currently I am a data annotator at Innodata where I help prepare precisely tuned data that goes to train some of the cutting edge AI models. Previously, I have worked as a freelance educator, typesetter and transcriptionist.
