Converts caffeine into TypeScript.

/ About me

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in TypeScript and Node.js, building full-stack products that scale. I care about clean architecture, developer experience, and shipping things that actually work.

Before I wrote code, I taught Physics. That background gave me something most engineers don't have: the ability to break down complex systems into first principles and explain them clearly. I brought that skill to software and never looked back.

I'm based wherever the best coffee is โ€” currently converting it into TypeScript at a rapid pace.
