About me

Building for the web
since I was 12 years old

I'm a self-taught Full-Stack Engineer with a relentless curiosity and 15+ years of hands-on experience. I got hooked on programming at 12, and I haven't stopped since — I even TA'd advanced programming courses while still a student in my third year at Thebes Academy.

Today I architect and build production-grade web systems at AlgoDriven as a Senior Backend Engineer, with deep expertise across the entire stack: RESTful APIs, Elasticsearch, payment gateways, and scalable backends. I believe good software is a craft — every line matters.
