About me

I'm a fullstack engineer with 5+ years of experience building web applications people actually enjoy using (hopefully). Frontend is where my strength lies, but I've picked up enough backend experience, from building a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to migrating a backend service from Node.js to Go and maintaining it since, to call myself fullstack now. Here's my tech stack:

Aside from those, I'm comfortable working with Docker, MongoDB, and Github Actions. Day to day I code with Claude, and I'm happy to try whatever tool gets the job done. I used to fall back to Antigravity whenever I burned through Claude's usage limit, back when Antigravity's free tier was still generous. That's rarely an issue now, so I've mostly stuck with Claude for the actual coding, though I still keep the Antigravity IDE open for its autocomplete, since yes, I still write code by hand sometimes, and it feels basically unlimited compared to Copilot's. I've also tried Opencode and keep an eye on what else is out there.

Back in college, I used Python heavily for my final assignment on Natural Language Processing (NLP). My lecturer liked the work enough to have me assist non-IT master's students with their NLP theses. I haven't touched Python much since graduating though.

I think of myself mainly as a technical person, but this blog won't stay strictly technical. Expect some personal posts and non-technical book reviews mixed in too.
