About Me

I'm a software engineer, and I've been building software since 2020, usually starting from things I want to exist.

The main one is Picashot, a home for in-game photography. I started it in 2021. It hosts over 200,000 photos today, with around 2,000 more added every month, and I build all of it: the app, the website, the API, and Studio, which is what people use when they post seriously.

I'm currently at Kudobuzz, building tools that help businesses collect and manage reviews and run targeted campaigns. Before that, GoLemon and Cara.
