Full-Stack Engineer · AI/ML · Fintech

6+ Years NYC

I build production systems end-to-end — from React/Next.js frontends to Java/Python backends to LLM-powered agents. Passionate about shipping fast, designing clean APIs, and turning complex problems into elegant solutions.

“Great software is built by engineers who own the full stack and obsess over the details.”
