Software engineering is as much about people and communication as it is about code. Over the years, I've cultivated a set of principles that guide how I build systems and work with teams.

There is no "one true way" to build software. Best practices are context-dependent. I value pragmatic solutions that solve the actual problem at hand over theoretically perfect architectures that add unnecessary complexity.

Complexity is the enemy of reliability and maintainability. I strive for simplicity in design, code, and process. If a solution is hard to explain, it's likely too complex. I'm a fan of "Boring Technology"—proven, reliable tools that let us focus on innovation where it counts.

Value is only delivered when software is in the hands of users. I believe in iterative development, short feedback loops, and shipping early and often. Perfect is the enemy of good.

I thrive in environments that foster autonomy. I believe that empowering engineers with ownership leads to better outcomes. With autonomy comes responsibility—you build it, you run it.

Technology evolves, and so should we. I am committed to lifelong learning and continuous improvement, both in technical skills and soft skills. I enjoy mentoring others and fostering a culture of knowledge sharing.
