About

Software engineer who owns problems end to end.

I'm a software engineer and micro1 Certified Full Stack Developer with several years of hands-on software development. I help businesses, teams, organizations, and individuals bring ideas to life, improve existing applications, and solve technical challenges.

I own complex problems end-to-end, from database design and API architecture to frontend performance and production monitoring. I've built systems serving 100+ concurrent users at sub-50ms response times with 95% Redis cache hit rates, integrated Claude and OpenAI with structured outputs, and rolled out multilingual experiences at scale.

My work spans full stack development, cloud deployment and DevOps, database design and performance optimization, and AI agents and MCP servers. I carry projects from requirements and system design through deployment, troubleshooting, and support, with clear communication and care for the people using the software.

My cybersecurity work focuses on web application and API security testing, vulnerability assessments, and responsible disclosure. I assess authentication, authorization, JWT security, and Supabase row-level security, alongside OWASP Top 10 risks.

Cybersecurity & penetration testing
  • Web application security testing, API security testing, and vulnerability assessment.
  • Authentication and authorization testing, broken access control, and JWT security.
  • Testing for SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and server-side request forgery (SSRF).
  • Supabase row-level security auditing and security misconfiguration assessment.
  • Responsible disclosure of security findings.

01Security technology / Frontend redesign

Awernica

A technical catalog with a stronger visual identity.

My frontend redesign of Awernica's security-product catalog pairs a clear search and comparison journey with a camera-focused visual narrative. The interface brings product detail, specifications, and security information into a more deliberate hierarchy.

  • Reworked the landing page around product discovery and camera comparison.
  • Built the camera disassembly sequence and specification-focused presentation shown in the redesign.
  • Refined navigation, typography, spacing, and responsive layouts.

02Storefront / Frontend redesign

Snus O'Clock

A storefront rethought around visual hierarchy.

My frontend redesign of Snus O'Clock explores a different storefront direction, with a stronger brand presentation and a more considered balance between navigation, product imagery, and browsing. This showcase focuses on the design and interface work.

  • Reworked the storefront's visual direction and page composition.
  • Refined the hierarchy between navigation, categories, and product content.
  • Built responsive frontend layouts for desktop and smaller screens.
