[ 01 / About ]

Engineer who ships,
lead who delivers.

I'm a CTO & full-stack developer with 4+ years building scalable web applications and leading development teams from concept to deployment.

My core is Python / Django on the backend and React / Next.js on the front, with self-hosted infrastructure, Docker, and CI/CD in between. I'm also a GoHighLevel expert — funnels, CRM workflows and white-label automations — alongside WordPress / WooCommerce e-commerce and newer stacks like Supabase.

Beyond code, I care about clean architecture, honest timelines, and mentoring developers. I'd rather under-promise and over-deliver.
