I'm a full-stack software engineer with significant experience using tools like:
TypeScript, React, Node.js, GraphQL, and SQL (especially PostgreSQL)
When I'm not building software, I'm probably listening to a podcast about software 😂 ...But when I'm not doing that, I like hiking with my dog Sophie, doing Muay Thai, spending time in the ocean, and playing bass guitar.
Check out my website CopyBass.com, which I created to help me practice playing bass. 🤘
