I’m not looking to be the first or only engineer at a company at this stage of my career. I’m comfortable with ownership and ambiguity, but I still want experienced engineers around me to learn from and collaborate with.
I’m an active builder outside of work as well. My main personal project combines song search, lyric retrieval, audio separation, automatic lyric timing and a lyric-first music player to automate much of the karaoke creation process.I designed the experience to feel effortless: features are either self-explanatory, accessible within a few clicks or handled automatically in the background. I enjoy finding processes that are frustrating or time-consuming and building something that makes them substantially easier. Time is fleeting, and I want the software I build to give some of it back.
One achievement I’m especially proud of was presenting a health information platform to more than 100 students at a university - the product’s primary audience. Building and shipping most of the platform was one challenge; standing in front of its users and earning their interest was another. I had never considered myself a natural salesperson because I would never want to convince someone to use something they did not need. However, I genuinely believed in the platform's mission, and because I am a developer, I understood the thinking behind nearly every detail of the product, so I could explain its value honestly and confidently.The presentation went well and showed me that pitching is less about “selling” and more about deeply understanding a problem, believing in the solution and communicating why it matters.
Full-stack software engineer with experience working in early-stage startups and small product teams. At an early-stage startup, I built customer-facing lead-generation tooling, an admin dashboard and an internal process-mapping platform capable of supporting more than 1,000 items.
I also helped ship a multilingual health information platform, along with an admin system that allows non-technical writers to manage its content. In another backend engineering role, I helped reduce infrastructure costs by 43%, cut deployment time by 68% and later supported a three-person backend team.
I currently contribute to an AI-powered boxing app, working on features involving conversational coaching, speech, health data and computer vision. Outside of work, I build products such as software which automates creating karaoke - including lyric retrieval, timing, romanisation and vocal separation, turning a multi-hour editing session into 5 minutes within 2 clicks.
