Introduction
Overview.
Hi! I'm a mechatronics engineer, which is just a fancy way of saying I like to build stuff—mechanical, electrical, software—you name it. With years of experience in all three domains, I thrive on thinking both big picture and diving deep into the details. Whether it's designing a drone, optimizing code for distributed systems, or crafting smart tech, I love solving problems from every angle. Plus, I'm all about collaboration—leading teams and working closely with others to bring ideas to life. If you need someone who can connect the dots across multiple domains—let's make it happen!
It's not a job, it's an adventure
Work Experience.
Software Engineer Intern
Shopify
- Led webhook changes for a project enabling all Shopify merchants to refund specific shipping lines, improving flexibility for split-cart refunds through API and database modifications
- Refactored shared serializers to decouple REST and webhook logic, ensuring future-proofing as Shopify transitioned away from REST in favor of GraphQL, while maintaining backward compatibility
- Implemented support for accessing beta-flagged values, so developers can safely access and test values protected by API versioning
- Presented findings regularly on code optimization to a team of 50+ engineers, introducing a shared serializer structure that reduced repetitive code across multiple systems and improved long-term maintainability
