About Me

Full Stack Developer & Product Builder

I'm a Full Stack Developer driven by the challenge of transforming complex problems into effective digital solutions. My journey began in Chemical Engineering and led me to successfully build and scale a physical product business from the ground up (0-to-1). Now, I apply that same entrepreneurial grit, analytical mindset, and a deliberately cultivated deep focus to building robust, user-centric websites, applications, and automations with modern technologies.

From Physical Products to Digital Solutions

My transition into software development is built on a proven foundation of real-world product creation. I founded Simpacti, the company behind packNpuff, over nine years ago and have been running it ever since. This venture was a masterclass in the entire product lifecycle: identifying a user pain point, engineering a solution, navigating manufacturing, and adapting to market feedback to grow a successful B2C brand on Amazon (4.5 stars with 930+ reviews).

This experience taught me the hard-won lessons of entrepreneurship: the importance of customer obsession, the necessity of resilience, and that a great product is not enough. You need a viable business model.

My Product-First Engineering Philosophy

My entrepreneurial journey led me to discover frameworks that crystallized my own experiences into a repeatable process. Discovering Ash Maurya's "Running Lean" was a pivotal moment. It provided a language and a systematic approach—the Lean Canvas, problem interviews, and the Demo-Sell-Build model—for the very principles I had learned intuitively.

This is the mindset I bring to software development. I am not just an engineer who writes code; I am a product-focused builder who seeks to de-risk ideas and validate assumptions before a single line of code is written. My goal is to bridge the gap between engineering and business value, ensuring that we are always asking not just "Can we build it?" but "Should we build it?".

My Engineering & Technical Approach

My Chemical Engineering background provides a strong foundation in analytical thinking, problem-solving, and understanding systems – principles I now apply to software architecture and development. Recognizing the power of digital tools, I've immersed myself in modern web technologies through intensive bootcamps and continuous self-study, rapidly acquiring proficiency in frameworks like React, Next.js, Node.js, and database management with PostgreSQL.

Crucially, my engineering mindset drives me to understand the fundamentals behind the tools I use. This allows me to move beyond surface-level implementation, troubleshoot effectively when challenges arise, and build more resilient and scalable solutions. I actively leverage cutting-edge tools, including AI assistants, to enhance my workflow and build sophisticated features efficiently. My approach is grounded in lean principles: identifying the core problem, building iteratively, measuring results, and focusing relentlessly on delivering value (applying the 80/20 principle).

Focus & Efficiency: My Way of Working

In a world of constant distraction, I've intentionally cultivated the ability to focus deeply and work efficiently. Inspired by concepts from Deep Work, Essentialism, and Getting Things Done, I structure my days for sustained concentration, minimize distractions and dedicate focused blocks of time to complex tasks. This discipline isn't just a personal habit; it's a professional asset that enables me to learn quickly, produce high-quality results, solve difficult problems, and reliably deliver results for any team I join.

Recent Projects & Contributions

I'm constantly building and contributing to solidify my skills and explore new technologies:

• Wetbulb35.com: An independently developed full-stack application providing global wet-bulb temperature data, showcasing API integration, data visualization, and deployment.
• Web3 Contributions: Actively contributed to projects like Cookie Jar (Web3 Petty Cash Drawer), Trin Ethereum Client UI, and Eliza OS (AI Agent Framework), gaining experience in collaborative development and diverse codebases.
• RegenHub.xyz: Co-founded and helped establish the operational systems for a unique, self-managed coworking space, demonstrating skills in automation and process design.

What I'm Looking For

I am actively seeking Full Stack Developer roles where I can leverage my unique blend of technical skills, product development experience, and focused work ethic. I thrive on tackling challenging problems, collaborating with driven teams, and building digital products that provide tangible value.
