About me

I'm a software developer who loves solving problems and building new things. My main focus is designing and implementing clean, scalable APIs with ASP.NET Core, and I have applied layered architectures and Clean Architecture in real-world projects.

On the frontend I work with React, so I can take a product all the way from idea to launch. I care deeply about readable, testable code and the SOLID principles.
