I've been building software professionally for nearly two decades — mostly backend systems, APIs, and architecture.

Recently, I've been deep into agentic AI development, exploring how AI agents can transform the way we build software. Right now I'm focused on building with AI agents, understanding their capabilities, and helping teams adopt these new workflows.
