About Me
I am an AI Developer at Salesperson Inc. passionate about crafting scalable, production-grade applications. My core is the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem (React, Next.js), but my work now spans the full stack: I build multi-tenant SaaS products on Vercel with shared authentication (Clerk), backed by Python services (Flask, FastAPI) and PostgreSQL databases such as Neon and Supabase. I also have experience with Java (Spring Boot).
A growing part of my work is at the intersection of AI and data. I build AI chatbots and data-grounded assistants, and I design the pipelines behind them: automations in n8n and Google APIs, plus read-only syncs from ERP and CRM systems (Odoo, Epicor, HubSpot) into Postgres. I care about the unglamorous reliability details, such as incremental imports instead of full reloads, structured inputs instead of LLM-generated guesses, and deterministic lookups where hallucination is a risk.
My approach to engineering is self-directed; I use AI-augmented workflows and continuous learning to solve complex problems and accelerate development.
Currently expanding my horizons into C and Rust to deepen my understanding of low-level operations, memory management, and advanced DSA.

Humble Beginnings

Beyond Coding
Beyond the IDE, I see myself as a problem solver and a lifelong learner. True engineering excellence requires not just technical skill, but a holistic mindset that embraces constant evolution.
To deepen my craft, I study classics like C Programming: A Modern Approach, Design Patterns, and Java: The Complete Reference to ground my modern development work in timeless software engineering principles.
My growth isn't limited to technology. I actively cultivate productivity and emotional intelligence through books like Atomic Habits and Surrounded by Idiots, ensuring I bring both technical acuity and personal effectiveness to every team I join.
