About

I start with the domain, not the framework.

I build complex, domain-rich software — from school management systems serving 3,000+ students to packhouse operations tools to manage 9,000+ employees across commercial flower farms.

My approach is grounded in Domain-Driven Design and Clean Architecture. I partner closely with stakeholders to translate real business workflows into systems that are maintainable, scalable, and built to last — not just to ship.

My stack centers on NestJS and Next.js, and I work across the full lifecycle: product design, backend architecture, frontend delivery, and deployment.
