Professional Profile
I work at the intersection of software, systems, and problem-solving—building solutions that are useful, maintainable, and grounded in real-world needs.
My background spans full-stack development, cloud and DevOps practices, technical consulting, and application engineering. I enjoy turning messy requirements into clean, working systems.
Alongside my professional work, I also contribute to community-driven mapping and tooling projects, where accuracy, usability, and collaboration matter just as much as code quality.
Current Focus
- Full-stack web development and product engineering
- Cloud, automation, and DevOps-oriented delivery
- Open-source and mapping tools for the Waze ecosystem
Volunteer work
Waze Map Editor
I am also a volunteer map editor for Waze, contributing to map quality, road data accuracy, and community-led improvements.
Volunteer work is ongoing and not affiliated with my professional roles.
Why it matters to me
Volunteer editing combines local knowledge, attention to detail, and public benefit. It is a space where technical thinking and community contribution come together naturally.
It has also informed some of my side projects, especially tools designed to improve mapping workflows and editor efficiency.
