Indie hacker · exploring

I’m an indie hacker with a real itch to build companies. Right now I’m in exploration mode — shipping web products end to end, from the first frame of design to the last line of the deploy, and following ideas to see where they lead. I like owning the whole loop: design it, build it, launch it, iterate.

Before going solo I was a founding engineer at Citronetic, working on agent infrastructure. I studied computer science at SUSTech, where I did real-time 3D vision — a paper at CVPR 2026 and the SurgFM-SLAM research project — with earlier stops at McGill, Wego, and Cuboid.AI. You can reach me via email, see my code on GitHub, or connect on LinkedIn.
