Software Engineer with a strong backend focus and a habit of building things from first principles.
I enjoy working close to the engine room: APIs, databases, algorithms, and systems that need to be correct, fast, and understandable. I’m especially interested in data-heavy and algorithmic problems, where structure and pattern recognition matter more than shiny UI polish.
