About
From civil engineer to fullstack AI engineer
I studied civil engineering. A habit of automating everything is what pulled me into software: first Excel formulas to save time, then a bot to grab GPU cards during the Bitcoin boom.
That bot taught me what tutorials don't: real systems break, and the question that matters is what happens when they do. My first Upwork project in 2022 grew into a freelance career of 50+ projects for 30+ clients, the Top Rated Plus badge, and then full-time engineering roles.
Today I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Vodafone, building large-scale apps used by millions, and a Fullstack AI Developer at evyAI, where I lead the team that refactored the platform after its MVP. I write TypeScript end to end and focus on LLM products that hold up in production.
