I build with purpose - in code, stories, and life.

From deploying full‑stack apps to crafting stories that inspire, I love creating things that bring people closer to meaning.

Book in progress: The Daughter of Silence

A dystopian novel about faith, legacy, and multiplying hope.

In a future where silence is law and the gift of children is forbidden, she discovers a scrap of paper with fading words: “Be fruitful and multiply.” What begins as a fragile whisper becomes the seed of defiance — and the hope of a legacy greater than survival.

I’m documenting the creative process - from raw drafts to breakthroughs - and sharing behind-the-scenes notes and excerpts as the story comes alive
