About

I'm an API Engineer at Anheuser-Busch, specializing in building scalable, domain-driven APIs using NestJS, TypeScript, GraphQL, and REST. I focus on clean architecture and maintainable code, grounded in DDD and microservice principles. With a strong background in frontend development and UI/UX design, I bring a user-centric, full-stack mindset to everything I build. I’m passionate about shipping reliable systems, collaborating across teams, and solving real business problems through thoughtful engineering.
