about
I excel in the rapid development of software and web applications. My design and engineering choices are informed by an entrepreneurial perspective, making my work both efficient and effective.
I've spent quite some time honing my skills in JavaScript, with a primary focus on React and Node.js. My experience extends to a diverse range of technologies, encompassing Node & Express, MongoDB, React Material UI, Chakra UI, REST API design, and integration with various third-party APIs like Stripe, Discord, Slack, Spotify, Google Auth, and many more
More recently I've expanded into native iOS development with Swift and SwiftUI, working with Apple frameworks like ScreenTime, Family Controls, and Device Activity, and shipping real products backed by Supabase. As co-founder of Tranquil, I get to wear both the engineering and product hats end to end.
I also build AI voice receptionists, phone agents that answer calls, book appointments, qualify leads, and handle FAQs so small businesses never miss a customer. I design the conversation flows, integrations, and guardrails on top of voice AI platforms like Vapi and Retell, and I love helping local businesses put this to work.
In addition, I bring a wealth of experience in UI/UX (User Interface/User Experience). While I'm not a designer. This unique perspective as a developer enables me to make informed development decisions, such as Information Architecture, Accessibility (a11y), Cross-Browser Compatibility, and a strong commitment to User-Centered Design (UCD).
Effective communication is at the core of my approach. I take pride in being an outstanding communicator, whether it's through the written word or in conversations. I leverage screen casts, video calls, and written communication to cultivate teams founded on trust and transparency.
personally
I go to the gym regularly.
I'm also a digital artist. When I'm not writing code I enjoy creating digital art, experimenting with color, composition, and design, creating pieces that are both visually striking and conceptullization of my imagination and yours.
I have been a gamer my entire life, From board games to video games, I've been on a lifelong quest for high scores and epic wins.
It's as clear as checkmate that I love chess, though I can't quite claim the title of 'Grandmaster' just yet. But don't worry, I'm still pushing pawns and slaying knights on my quest for chessboard domination!
