Welcome to my digital abode!

I am a Founding Engineer at Roger (YC S24), building end-to-end SDR solutions powered by AI. I specialize in scalable systems and full-stack development.

Previously, I've worked on AI-powered knowledge systems at Presto and no-code AI platforms at Zeza Technologies.

I am also the founder of localhostcoders, a community of 3600+ developers.

When I'm not coding, I'm exploring tech psychology over a fresh cup of coffee!
