About

Backend Developer with over 8 years of experience building SaaS products that actually work (and occasionally wow). Armed with Python, REST APIs, and NoSQL databases like MongoDB and DynamoDB, I’ve tackled everything from crafting microservices to perfecting OAuth flows. Flask and FastAPI are my go-to frameworks for getting things done. Lately, I’ve been dabbling in front-end magic with React, venturing into the full-stack world one component at a time. At Darsel, I’m all about improving math learning outcomes for K-12 children through low-bandwidth channels like WhatsApp and SMS.

Planning or Testing?

When approaching a new challenge, do you prefer carefully designing a structured plan before taking action, or do you favor experimenting directly to discover what works best through trial and error?

The most impactful effects from your launch?

Hey fellow makers! I'm curious which main lessons you learned from your launches. I'm talking beyond "make sure your servers don't crash and your website works". Or interesting opportunities you never thought about. Cheers!
