About

Fullstack engineer with 5+ years building at Pentest-Tools.com. Started as a designer, which still shapes how I think about products. Now I work across the stack: Laravel, Vue/Nuxt, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, MySQL, Docker. I care about clean architecture, fast feedback loops, and building things that actually ship. Occasionally break production on Fridays.
