.: about :.
I am a passionate software engineer with a strong foundation in software development, testing, and deployment. I have experience working with a variety of technologies, including Node.js, PHP, .NET/C#, Angular, React, and Vue. I am adept at creating test-driven, scalable, and robust applications.
When I’m not deep in code or editing videos, I’m usually out chasing adrenaline — skating, surfing, snowboarding, riding dirt bikes, or tearing up the trails on my mountain bike. I’ve also got a creative side that comes out through photography and archery, and I never pass up a good hockey game.
