Summary
With over a decade in software engineering, I specialize in full-stack development, and Web3 blockchain, with a strong focus on AWS cloud architecture. I excel at creating secure, efficient, and scalable web applications that drive engagement and revenue. In my free time, I'm a big fan of Starcraft-I've been playing since 1999 and even had a phase where I tried to go pro.
