About

I'm a Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of experience turning product ideas into fast, scalable, and user-friendly web applications. I specialize in SvelteKit, Golang, Node.js, and Supabase, and have contributed to products across tourism, fintech, Web3, and communications.

I've worked with diverse, remote teams in the US and Europe, delivering impactful projects like:

  • A whitelabel travel platform at Ygo that helped double sales and drive €1M in revenue in 6 months
  • The full SvelteKit web app for Colosseum, used to run Solana’s largest hackathons with over 100K participants
  • An NFT sales site for Gala Games through IDS, generating $5M in sales in its first week
  • Real-time dashboards for Africa's Talking, powering IoT insights across Africa

I enjoy working closely with designers, product managers, and engineers to ship meaningful features β€” from MVPs to complex full-stack systems. I'm also passionate about clean code, developer experience, and performance optimization.
