I'm a Full-Stack Engineer with five years of building, modern web applications. My journey into tech wasn't traditional, I'm driven by a deep frustration from learning systems that give priority to memorization over real understanding. I want to truly get how things work, the 'whys' of technology, and how its often exploited. Constant learning is what motivates me and my goal is to become a successful developer who can guide others.
Hard things are viewed as easy when you get to ask and answer multiple and successive whys from what you seek to accomplish.
This philosophy is now the foundation of my career. It's why I go deep on architecture, why I think about the human impact of the code I write, and why I believe the most elegant technology is that which is profoundly understood and built with a clear purpose.
