I’m a full-stack developer who transitioned into software from the world of finance. I studied Finance and Accounting during my undergraduate degree and initially planned to continue in that direction. But during the pandemic I took an interested in the impact supply chain distruptions were having on global economies, which led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management.

It was during that program that I wrote my first line of code, and immediately I was hooked. The idea of using code to bring ideas to life and solve real problems deeply resonated with me. Without a formal background in computer science, I knew it would take a significant investment of time and effort to get to a professional level. So I started learning by building.

I’ve gone through dozens of side projects starting, scrapping, refactoring, and learning from each one. Over time, I picked up the tools and habits that real development work demands: systems design, testing, version control, documentation and deployment. I've worked with a variety of technologies, adding to my toolkit as needed and letting curiosity lead the way.

Today, I’m comfortable working across the stack from backend systems to frontend frameworks. The technologies I’ve spent the most time with lately include:

• Python
• Typescript
• Rust
• FastAPI
• Next.js
• PostgreSQL
• Django
• React
• Docker
