I'm a full-stack software engineer with a passion for building clean, efficient, and scalable web applications. With experience across the entire development lifecycle, I specialize in PHP/Laravel backends paired with modern frontend technologies.

Years of hard work in labor-intensive jobs taught me the value of investing in myself. That drive led me to pursue a career in software engineering, which enables me to build a better future for my wife and family.
