About

I build things. I build people.

I'm a full stack engineer with a deep love for building clean, scalable software. By day, I'm shipping code — designing APIs, crafting interfaces, and solving problems that make real products better.

But when the laptop closes, the weights come out. Strength training and bodybuilding have been my anchor for years — a practice that taught me discipline, patience, and the power of showing up consistently.

Now I'm merging both worlds. As a coach, I bring the same systems-thinking mindset from engineering into program design: structured, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual. Whether it's a codebase or a training block, I believe in building with intention.
