Full-stack engineer specializing in Angular, AWS cloud infrastructure, and agentic AI systems. I build things that scale and write about the craft.
Everyone's excited about agents. Few talk about the operational reality — tool call failures, prompt brittleness, and why structured outputs matter more than you think.
Inheriting a cloud environment with no tags, no naming conventions, and no documentation. Here's how to start making sense of it.
Sometimes "just wrap it in Electron" turns into a full architectural rethink. Notes from the trenches.
My study schedule, the resources that actually helped, and what I wish I'd known before I started.
A web application that extracts text from uploaded images using Pytesseract, built with Angular on the frontend and a Python/Flask backend. Deployed on AWS EC2 behind Nginx.
Reimplementing a legacy desktop application as a cross-platform Electron app with a modern Angular UI, significantly reducing maintenance burden and enabling web-based deployment paths.
Full-stack web application at The Swift Group, built on MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js. Implemented WCAG-compliant accessibility standards throughout the UI layer.
Designed and maintained event-driven data pipelines using Amazon SQS and ECS, enabling reliable asynchronous data processing and clean service integration across a distributed system.
