About Me

Solving problems,
front and back.

I'm a full stack developer based in New York City with 10+ years of experience and genuine love for software development. I got started at a young age building high-performing games and programming 120lbs+ competitive robots.

I work with TypeScript, React, React Native, and Node.js — building scaleable revenue-generating apps for the web, desktop, and mobile. I have extensive experierence with backend development using tools like Express, PostgresSQL, Docker, and more. From design and implementation to polishing, hosting, and publishing, I've been there every step of the way.

Currently open to full-time roles and select freelance projects. If you're building something meaningful, I'd love to be part of it.

Project Stream

Project Stream is a cross-platform streaming application. It allows many-to-many sharing of devices, monitors, and applications to a room of users. Users can also collaborate and share control over a virtual browser.

Great for having watch parties, gaming, troubleshooting, or conferencing.

Project Stream was created as my thesis project at Pace University during COVID. It is a highly complex project that targets the Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, Linux, and the web.
