About

Backend depth with a full-product perspective.

My core work is building and evolving commerce products: business logic, integrations, payments, checkout, platform upgrades and the engineering practices that keep them dependable. I'm comfortable moving between architecture and implementation, and I use AI as a daily accelerator while keeping review, testing and responsibility firmly human.

AI in daily work

AI makes the loop faster. Engineering judgment keeps it reliable.

I use AI throughout the development cycle to explore, implement, debug, review and document. Every result still goes through context-aware review, security checks and tests before it becomes part of the product.
