About Me

I am a full stack AI focused software engineer and developer advocate with a background in enterprise sales, where I helped Fortune 500 teams solve hiring and workflow challenges. That experience taught me to listen deeply, collaborate across disciplines, and build trust quickly.

I bring that same rigor and empathy to engineering, turning ideas into products that feel intuitive, inclusive, and impactful. I am passionate about developer relations and community building, and I love helping others learn and ship.

Let's build something great together.
