Career Narrative

As a multidisciplinary software engineer with over **5 years of experience**, I focus on building responsive, highly polished, and accessibility-first web applications. I bridge the gap between creative visual layouts and scalable, secure backend systems.

My work spans responsive frontend systems (React/TanStack), interactive web-based graphics (Three.js/WebGL), and high-throughput server architecture (Go/Node/Postgres). I am deeply passionate about design systems, performance tuning, and optimizing digital interactions so they feel physical, fluid, and intuitive.
