Product Engineer, first team member at Learnn, an EdTech startup launched bootstrapped in 2020, today with over 300,000 users.
My journey started with a simple "Hello World" and has grown into a continuous pursuit of learning, building, and sharing. Over the years, I've done a bit of everything: designed APIs, architected complex systems, built applications, set up a streaming infrastructure from scratch, and at the same time worked on acquisition funnels, referral campaigns, and product strategy.
I like operating at the intersection of engineering and product, because that's where the interesting things happen. To me, technology only matters if it lets you build something people genuinely love and use.

From MVP to Fully-Fledged: How We Crafted a Netflix-Like App in Just 45 Days
Starting from just an idea and turning it into reality is no easy feat in the world of app development.
But what if you've got a mere 45 days to take a validated MVP and shape it into a fully functional app? Well, that was the challenge we took on at Learnn. We tackled tough questions about tech choices, architecture, team setup, and project management.
Join us as we break down the anatomy of rapid app evolution, dishing out insights on overcoming hurdles, making big calls, and dodging those all-too-common slip-ups.
This session promises actionable tips for your next software adventure.
Perfect Pitch: Unveiling the Mathematical Symphony Behind a Guitar Tuner
Join me on a musical journey through the world of open source software as I share the story behind crafting from scratch an online guitar tuner with Javascript.
In this talk, we'll explore the delightful intersection of mathematics and development, where a simple curiosity led to the creation of an open-source tuner using React and Next.js.
I'll share insights and challenges into the implementation of the tuner, navigating through the algorithmic landscape of autocorrelation and frequency calculations.
From Zero to 100,000 users: How to Build a Scalable Video Streaming Service
We will examine the technical decisions made during the scaling process from zero to 100,000 users, highlighting the transition from an external video platform to a fully integrated and optimized AWS-based encoding and content delivery architecture.
This process involved overcoming several challenges, including the optimization of streaming performance and the management of associated costs.
Our discussion will offer a comprehensive understanding of the technical requirements and considerations for building a successful video on-demand streaming service.
