👋 Welcome to my portfolio!

I'm an Electrical Engineer, Software Developer, and UI/UX Designer who is passionate about building products that users truly love.

Since 2014, I've built a wide range of products, startups, and side projects from motion tracking wearables to AI-powered clones.

While formally trained as an Electrical Engineer, the endless possibilities when hardware, firmware, and software are combined has led me to found three software-focused startups.

I hope you're as excited as I am to build the next generation of great products together.

P.S. I designed and built this portfolio with Next.js and TailwindCSS, and the source code is available on GitHub.
