About

I build interfaces people actually enjoy using — fast, accessible, and a little bit playful.

Five years across enterprise dashboards, a live-learning platform, and tourism e-commerce taught me that good frontend is equal parts engineering discipline and taste.

Software engineer focused on the frontend, building production web applications with React, Next.js and TypeScript. At Odeon Technology I work on a B2C tourism e-commerce platform serving 13 countries and the CMS behind it, and as co-founder of 21collective I lead the frontend of client products built on Node.js and Supabase. I care about fast pages, component architecture that stays maintainable, and interfaces that feel crafted rather than assembled.
