About

Five years building
what runs underneath.

I started writing code at thirteen and never really stopped. Over time I gravitated toward the parts of the stack most people ignore — systems, infrastructure, the security layer. I work primarily in Python, Go, and JavaScript, building backends that need to be fast, secure, and maintainable.

Why I do this

My first lines of code were a Python script to sort my music library. That small thing taught me that software is just logic made tangible — and I wanted to understand all of it, down to the OS and the network stack. That curiosity never left.

Dreams & ambitions

I want to work on infrastructure that other engineers depend on without thinking about it — the kind of software that just runs, quietly and correctly, at scale.

Security is where I keep returning. I want to turn that instinct into deep expertise in distributed systems security — shaping how teams think about trust boundaries from day one, not as an afterthought.

Longer term, I want to contribute to the tools developers actually use: open-source runtimes, protocol implementations, the unglamorous plumbing that makes modern software possible.
