Biography
About me
Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing and building software across frontend, backend, and cloud. I work end to end — from product interfaces and APIs to microservices, data platforms, and the systems that keep them reliable in production. This site is my public engineering home for architecture thinking, technical experiments, and the journey toward Staff Engineer and architectural leadership.

Engineering notes
How I think
I write about frontend architecture, Angular, Nx, and the practices that keep production systems understandable as they grow.
Frontend Architecture for a Personal Platform
How this Angular platform stays thin: app boundaries, a Blog-local content contract, and Portfolio linking to Blog through public URLs only.
