Precision in detail, vision in design,
building things one block at a time.
Who am I?
Once an Architect, now a self-taught Software Engineer, I enjoy building solutions.
Currently I am working at Bloomberg as a software engineer, while I keep building side projects outside of work to keep myself sharp. Before transitioning into tech, I received 7-year architect training, worked on projects spanning from individual housing designs to large-scale urban planning. Living at the crossroads of diverse cultures and domains, I embrace the richness of multiple perspectives.
As a Software Engineer
I thrive on building seamless solutions, bridging gaps in technologies with innovative ideas. My side projects and blogs serve as platforms to explore new tools, document what I learn, and share solutions to challenges.
Once an Architect
Being an architect turned developer is a rewarding journey, architecture nurtured my systematic and aesthetic thinking, while coding empowers me to bring those ideas to life and make a broader impact efficiently.
