About Me
I’m a builder at heart — that’s the simplest way to describe me. I create because I enjoy it, and if others find value in what I make, that’s a bonus. I've been coding for almost 8 years now. For years, I worked as a Software Developer and Consultant at a global firm. The nature of consulting meant jumping into new projects and codebases often, learning fast, and adapting constantly. I gained experience with a wide range of technologies and industries — but like many in high-demand environments, I eventually hit a wall. After many rounds of sudden mass layoffs, it was finally my turn, I took the opportunity to step back and reflect. That time away from the corporate world helped me re-center. I realized that for me, fulfillment comes from building things that last — whether digital or physical — and from creating with purpose and enjoying the process, not for ambition. Now, I’m focused on work that’s meaningful, self-directed, and grounded in curiosity. I still love tech, but I’m no longer chasing titles or trends — I’m building a future I believe in.

You know what’s wild? You build the infrastructure, you architect the data flow, you design a scalable API, and someone says: “Wow, that button looks great! Props to the front-end team!”
Backend work is invisible. There’s no interface, no animations, no pixel-perfect layouts. Just logic, latency, and lots of code no one will ever see — unless it breaks.
I’ve sat in meetings where the product team was blown away by the design of a new feature. “So clean! So intuitive!” Meanwhile, I’m sitting there thinking: You know that component only loads because I cached the response, built out retries, paginated the DB calls, and spent two hours squashing a race condition… right?
But I get it. People praise what they can see. And what they can see is the UI. Backend feels like plumbing — essential, complex, and underappreciated… until it clogs.
So here’s my ask: next time a feature works smoothly, loads fast, or scales without a hiccup — give the backend folks a shoutout. We may not be pushing pixels, but we’re holding the system together under the hood.
And trust me: a properly tuned API is a thing of beauty. You just have to know where to look.
