About

Backend Developer and Data Engineer

I’m most energized by technology, developer experience, and deep technical exploration.

At Digital Hands, I work across backend development, data engineering, and cloud infrastructure. I enjoy moving between systems work and product-facing problems, especially when it means making complex things feel straightforward.

A lot of my recent work has involved AI and LLM integrations, but I’m most interested in the practical side: how these tools fit into real workflows and improve the experience for the people using them.

I care deeply about developer experience. Good tooling, clear abstractions, and predictable systems make teams more effective and make software more enjoyable to build.

I like going deep technically, learning new systems end-to-end, and then distilling that complexity into solutions that are clean, reliable, and maintainable.
