The Product Engineer#

This is where I see myself today. While I’m still fascinated by all aspects of technology, I’ve learned to recognize my cognitive boundaries. That’s why I’ve chosen to focus on my core strength: front-end development.

I specialize in building intuitive and responsive user interfaces using web fundamentals, JavaScript, TypeScript, and React including modern frameworks like Remix – all while staying current with industry trends.

Beyond my core focus, I also have experience with backend, serverless, and cloud systems, supported by five AWS certifications, including AWS Solutions Architect Professional, and three Associate-level certifications: Developer, Solutions Architect and SysOps Administrator.

While I believe it’s important to drop some keywords and credentials on an About page, I want to emphasize that for me, these are just tools to solve problems and deliver value to users.

I believe the best products emerge from teams that align business goals with genuine user needs.

That’s why I try to stay open-minded and focus on broader approaches to deliver the best possible products, for example, by building procedures and systems that empower me and my fellow developers.
