Engineering Ethos

How I Approach Problems

Clarity Over Complexity

The best solutions are elegant and maintainable. I prioritize clean architecture and clear documentation over clever tricks that obscure intent.

Performance Over Shortcuts

Speed matters, but sustainable speed matters more. I build systems that scale gracefully and perform reliably under pressure.

Integrity Over Ego

Great engineering is a team sport. I value honest feedback, collaborative problem-solving, and lifting others up over personal recognition.

Impact Over Activity

Lines of code don't measure success—business outcomes do. I focus on delivering measurable value that moves the needle.
