01. About Me
The story so far
I design and build end-to-end digital solutions that connect user needs with technical precision. With a decade of experience in product leadership and now hands-on software engineering, I thrive at the intersection of code, creativity, and impact.
Based in the Greater Toronto Area, I bring a unique blend of technical depth and product thinking to every project. My background spans full-stack development, Agile product ownership, systems analysis, and cybersecurity.
Currently working as a Software Engineer at Corpay, building scalable fintech solutions with C#, .NET, and TypeScript — while continuously levelling up in AI, cloud, and security.
