🧑‍💻4+ years full-stack🌍Remote & async🏗️SaaS, EdTech, FinTech🏎️Cars & sim racing

I'm a full-stack engineer based in Antananarivo, Madagascar. I've spent the last 4+ years building web applications across e-learning, fintech, healthcare, and SaaS, mostly with TypeScript and Next.js, deployed on GCP and Vercel.

I prefer working remote and async. Mornings are for deep work: architecture, complex features, code reviews. Afternoons for collaboration, syncs, and helping teammates unblock. I care about shipping things that actually work for users, not just things that look good in a PR.

When I'm not coding, I'm probably behind a wheel, or a sim wheel. I'm into cars, driving, and racing simulators. It's the same thing I like about engineering: precision, feedback loops, and getting faster every lap.
