About Me

I am a financial professional with over a decade of experience in accounting, financial management, and business operations. My passion for problem-solving has led me to software development, where I build tools that bridge the gap between finance and technology.

I'm currently building multiple software solutions aimed at improving efficiency in accounting and construction industries.
