philosophy: >
A single line of code can change an entire system.
A single product can change an entire industry.
That's the butterfly effect โ and I engineer it.

I'm a Product Engineer who sees the world through the lens of the butterfly effect โ small, intentional changes that cascade into massive outcomes. I'm fascinated by how order emerges from chaos, and I bring that same mindset to everything I build.
I work across the full stack with TypeScript, Go, and Python on GCP/Firebase, turning complex problems into products that amplify real objectives. Not just features that exist โ tools that change things.
When I'm not shipping code, you'll find me lost in a book ๐, fueling up on coffee โ, or figuring out how to help someone with whatever they need ๐ค
"Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?"
โ Edward Lorenz... and also kind of my engineering philosophy.
The Lorenz attractor โ a deterministic system where tiny differences in initial conditions lead to wildly different outcomes. This is how I think about product engineering.
๐ The Full Picture
| Domain | Tools |
|---|---|
| Languages | TypeScript, Go, Python, Dart |
| Frontend | Next.js, React, Flutter |
| Backend | Node.js, Go services, Cloud Functions |
| Cloud & Infra | GCP, Firebase, Cloud Run, Document AI, Vertex AI |
| AI/ML | Gemini, Vertex AI, Document AI, HMM, Kalman Filters |
| Data | Firestore, BigQuery, PostgreSQL |
| Game Dev | Godot 4 |
| Trading | MetaTrader 5, Python-MT5, Optuna |
A product that doesn't move a needle is just a fancy to-do list.
I measure success in outcomes, not in lines of code.
The best feature is the one that changes behavior.
And the best systems? They find order where everyone else sees chaos.
