About

My primary focus revolves around full-stack development, where I tackle complex challenges by bridging frontend user experience with robust backend architecture. I focus on identifying bottlenecks, optimizing workflows, and transforming abstract requirements into functional solutions. What drives me most is the problem-solving process itself—breaking down intricate technical challenges into manageable components and watching disparate pieces converge into seamless, working systems.
My approach to development mirrors my broader analytical mindset: whether I'm dissecting narrative structures in literature on my blog, debugging code, or experimenting with large language models, I'm constantly seeking to understand underlying patterns and mechanisms. This cross-disciplinary thinking allows me to approach software challenges with fresh perspectives, often drawing insights from storytelling principles to create more intuitive user experiences and cleaner code architecture. Beyond work, I'm interested in exploring the fascinating intersection of technology and creativity through large language models.
