Hello there πŸ‘‹

Software engineer exploring the creative side of building software.

I come from a backend and cloud foundation, and I'm increasingly drawn to how products look, feel, and connect with people β€” currently learning frontend and iOS, and building with AI tools like Claude Code, to understand the full product experience.

About

I'm a software engineer with a backend and cloud foundation, increasingly drawn toward the creative side of building software β€” how products look, feel, and connect with people.

Most of my professional experience has been on the backend, so I'm spending time learning frontend and iOS to understand the full product experience. I'm motivated by curiosity, experimentation, and turning ideas into real, usable products.

Outside of work, I built and published DuoLink β€” a cross-platform music sharing app β€” which gave me hands-on exposure to product thinking, UI decisions, and end-to-end ownership. It's been my way of bridging the gap between engineering and product.
