About Me
My passion for technology sparked at 12, when I discovered how a few lines of code could turn ideas into reality. Without a computer, I googled on a Nokia Express Music phone with 2G internet, learning to build websites because I wanted to take my dad's business online and create utility sites to make money. That curiosity evolved into an obsession, building, breaking, and improving just to understand how things work.
Today, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Volteo Maritime with 7+ years of experience, spearheading the development of Wayship, a collaborative e-logbook software. My journey has been driven by a love for creating and enabling others, I've built full-stack apps, explored AI ideas, led teams, and mentored students and juniors. My entrepreneurial ventures include founding MagicQuiz, which reached 2M+ users, and CodersQuiz, an award-winning platform for gamified coding education.
I've tackled complex challenges in distributed systems, offline-first applications, and cross-platform development, designing frameworks that reduced development time by 70% and implementing solutions that cut workload by 90% across departments. But I'm not just about code, I study what drives people: sales, psychology, and design. Working on startup ideas has taught me that vision means nothing without execution.
Somewhere between late-night coding sessions and deep conversations, I stay in pursuit of the next breakthrough. My expertise spans React and Node.js to distributed systems and offline-first applications, always focusing on delivering robust, user-friendly solutions that make a real impact.

Associate Software Engineer (Trainee)
Contributed to a government project for ports and inland vessels by developing dashboards with React and collaborating with the backend team to implement a multi-level authorized file download feature.
Founder
Founded the MagicQuiz app to run personalized quizzes leveraging Facebook's SDK and developed a custom image manipulation algorithm for on-the-fly personalized results. Drove 2M+ traffic and generated significant revenue through advertising partnerships. Later pivoted to a SaaS model, selling 50+ copies internationally before closing operations due to changes in Facebook's SDK access.
President
Founded and chaired an award-winning CoderzQuiz club that helped students learn coding in a gamified manner by hosting inter-college competitions with over 1,000 participants. CodersQuiz was a web-based app focused on gamified coding competitions.
