It started with Minecraft — I wanted effects my server didn't have, so I built them. That plugin, GadgetsMenu, is still actively used on thousands of servers today, with over 500K downloads worldwide.
Professionally, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at ProppyApp, where I lead the development of a white-label UI framework, design globalised APIs, and sit at the intersection of engineering and product strategy.
I graduated from APU with a CGPA of 3.8 in Computer Software Engineering, and I've spent the years since building things that are clean, scalable, and built to last.
