View READMEAbout me
I’m a career-changing software developer with a strong analytical background from the finance industry.
I bring a structured, detail-oriented approach to software development, with a growing focus on backend systems, data handling, and clean interfaces between components.
I’ve worked with both start-ups and established companies in local and international contexts, and I’ve had the opportunity to study the business logic of many organizations through an investor’s lens.
I believe that a deep understanding of business context helps me build software that is more relevant and intuitive for end users.
