About

I'm a final-year computer science student with a strong foundation in web development and blockchain. Over the past two years, I've led and contributed to production-grade web and web3 products across startups and developer ecosystems—balancing full-time engineering roles with part-time developer advocacy. Whether it's scaling full-stack apps in Next.js or building for Solana and Ethereum, I bring a product-driven, self-directed approach to engineering. I'm comfortable owning features end-to-end, collaborating across teams, and delivering under startup-level constraints.
