// about.tsx — who I am

function whoAmI() {

I'm a software engineer passionate about building products that are fast, reliable, and enjoyable to use. I specialize in full-stack development with a strong focus on backend systems, developer tooling, and clean API design.

When I'm not writing code, I'm thinking about distributed systems, exploring open-source projects, or diving into the latest in cloud infrastructure.
