About Me:

I am a dedicated software engineer with over 10 years of experience in business sales, seamlessly transitioning into development during the Covid-19 pandemic. My journey into software development was fueled by a desire for change and a newfound passion for coding.

Balancing a demanding 50–60 hour workweek with family responsibilities, I dedicated late-night hours to mastering coding, eventually becoming a full-time developer in just seven months. My transition showcases my adaptability and commitment to personal growth.

Outside of work, I am an adventure enthusiast who enjoys movies and cherishes quality time with my wife Kim and our two children, constantly seeking new experiences to create lasting memories.
