About

Focused on reliable backend work

I focus on backend development and API design, building database-backed applications with attention to authentication, authorization, and integrations. When needed, I handle frontend integration to connect those systems to a working product.

My work involves designing schemas, building REST APIs, wiring payment and third-party integrations, and keeping the pieces between services consistent and testable.
