about()

I'm a software engineer with 3+ years of experience building and scaling production SaaS applications. My core stack is React and TypeScript on the frontend, Django and Python on the backend.

At Spoki I work across the whole product: features, onboarding flows and real-time interactions. Since 2026 I lead frontend technical decisions, from architecture and code reviews to release workflows and engineering standards.

I like product-driven teams where engineering, design and business work closely together. Writing code is only part of the job. Understanding users, making careful trade-offs and owning what you ship matter just as much.

Briello — music producer

2018 – 2022

Before software, I produced music as Briello. I built and ran a digital storefront for licensed instrumentals and handled the content, branding and distribution myself.

The YouTube channel grew to 25k+ subscribers and 6M+ views through SEO and content strategy. It taught me early how to build something people actually come back to.
