About Me

A backend-leaning full-stack engineer

I design and build services for companies — reliable Laravel APIs, clean Next.js and Vue front ends, and the cloud infrastructure that keeps them running. My focus is turning complex requirements into software that's maintainable and genuinely works.

Currently consulting at CMS. Previously Tech Lead at ESSHVA, embedded directly with Singapore Press Holdings' subscriptions platform, with a decade of backend work before that across OpusXenta, Intervest, and thinkcube.
