Engineering dependable products for education and research
With more than ten years of full-stack experience, I deliver resilient software for universities, research teams, and enterprise partners. I love pairing structured problem solving with collaborative product thinking to turn requirements into high-quality releases.
My work spans PHP, Java, C#, and modern JavaScript frameworks. Whether I’m architecting metadata platforms, leading code reviews, or mentoring teammates, I stay focused on maintainability, measurable impact, and inclusive user experiences.
