Welcome to My Digital Journey 👋
Hey there! I'm Breydan, and this is where my passion for technology meets real-world impact. If you're curious about the intersection of enterprise-grade systems and cutting-edge AI development, you've found the right place.
From Support Engineer to Full-Stack Builder
By day, I'm navigating the complexities of enterprise Java applications at One Empower, supporting multi-region banking systems that serve thousands of users. By night (and weekends), I'm crafting AI-powered SaaS applications that push the boundaries of what's possible with modern web technologies.
This unique perspective—bridging enterprise reliability with indie innovation—shapes everything I build and share here.
