About Me

I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for building innovative solutions and creating exceptional user experiences. With a strong foundation in both frontend and backend development, I enjoy tackling complex challenges and turning ideas into reality.

Outside of work, I’m a lifelong sports fan (Tampa Bay Rays, Florida Gators, and Carolina Panthers), a fitness enthusiast, and an avid cook and movie lover. You can check out my film reviews on Letterboxd.

I’m also building Seluma Studio, a future-facing parent brand for the products, tools, and creative projects I’m launching outside of work.
