I solve real-life problems with code

Full-stack developer and co-founder at Skybil. Over 4 years solving real problems with code. I build platforms that improve business metrics and deliver measurable results. When I'm not coding, I'm reading about entrepreneurship or exploring new areas of computer science. Currently working on multiple startup projects. This blog documents what I'm learning along the way.
