About

The short version

From freelance to leading a KYC platform

I started out freelancing for a US healthcare client in 2019, spent two years building the CMS behind Kroger's banner ecosystem, and now lead a small team at Perfios. I work across the whole stack — Python and FastAPI behind the API, TypeScript with React, Angular and Vue in front of it, and the AWS and HAProxy layer underneath.
