About me
Cordon Bleu–trained chef with a culinary philosophy rooted in passion for food and the joy it brings to people. I see each meal as an opportunity to create lasting memories and foster meaningful connections. My calm demeanor under pressure ensures a harmonious kitchen environment, even in the most demanding settings. Over the course of my career, I have honed my craft across diverse culinary landscapes — from high-end restaurants and luxury lodges to private villas and bespoke catering. My background also includes food manufacturing, allergen management, and nutritional menu development, giving me a unique ability to balance creativity with health-conscious precision. Whether working as a sole chef or leading a team, I bring technical mastery, innovation, and a deep respect for ingredients to every plate I serve.
