About Me
Software Engineer with a passion for fostering high-performing teams.
I'm a passionate Software Engineer who loves fostering high-performing teams and building products. With over 10 years of experience, I have knowledge in various frameworks, and languages and practices across the software development lifecycle. I specialize in JVM-based languages and cloud-native applications, leveraging the JVM ecosystem to build scalable solutions.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing games, tinkering with my homelab, running or drinking a hot cup of coffee.
