About

About

I am a licensed CPA with over 20 years of experience in accounting, finance, audit, procurement, and administration across United Nations agencies, international NGOs, and the private sector.

In 2026, I expanded my skill set into AI-assisted product development. Using modern tools such as Lovable, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GitHub, Vercel, and Supabase, I independently design, build, and deploy production-ready web applications through my studio, DashCraftCo.

Rather than positioning myself as a traditional software engineer, I combine my professional experience in accounting, finance, audit, procurement, and administration with modern AI-assisted development to build practical web applications that solve real business and educational challenges. My strength lies in understanding business processes, identifying opportunities for improvement, and rapidly turning ideas into working digital solutions using today's AI-powered development tools.
