> About

I'm a full-stack developer who builds and ships production software end-to-end — from frontend interfaces to backend APIs to the infrastructure they run on.

Every project in my portfolio runs on a self-hosted Kubernetes cluster with automated GitOps deployments: push to main, and it's live. I built the CI/CD pipeline myself using GitHub webhooks, Kaniko builds, and Cloudflare Tunnels.

I work with clients to turn ideas into production-ready applications. Whether it's a SaaS platform, a portfolio site, or a custom CMS — I handle the full stack.
