// about me

I don't just
write code.
I own products.

Backend Systems
APIs, webhooks, and background jobs
Product Delivery
Schema, frontend, testing, and deployment
ElixirFlow
Product engineering studio and parent brand

I build production web applications with Python, Django, React, and Next.js. My work covers PostgreSQL schema design, REST APIs, frontend integration, testing, and AWS deployment.

At ElixirFlow, I work as founder and product engineer. I develop products from initial design through implementation, deployment, and client delivery.

My earlier contract work focused on payment gateway integrations, webhooks, reconciliation, background jobs, and production support for startup applications.
