Summary

Nine years building APIs, integration systems, and distributed platforms for companies in insurance, pharma, and finance — most of it MuleSoft and enterprise middleware at Infosys. For the past year I've been building my own products, which is where I picked up Laravel, React, and the practical side of shipping AI in production.
