About

I’ve been working in tech since 2012 — backend-first, system-oriented, and usually the person called in when things go sideways. From building online games to designing secure APIs, I’ve worked across industries, team sizes, and tech stacks.

My approach is simple: make it work, make it clean, make it reliable. I’ve led dev teams, mentored junior engineers, and helped businesses scale from chaos to clarity.

I enjoy low-level systems (ESP32s, C/C++), secure communications (zero-trust, encrypted messaging), and infrastructure that just works (Proxmox, Caddy, WireGuard). My tools may change — my mindset doesn’t.

Self-taught through practice, failure, and fixing broken things. My best lessons didn’t come from classrooms — they came from real systems under real pressure.

- Backend Engineering (Java/Spring, Node.js, Fastify)
- Systems & Infra (Proxmox, Caddy, Pods, WireGuard)
- IoT tinkering (ESP32, SBC, OLEDs, Sensors, NFC)
- Frontend when needed (Vue, Astro, Tailwind)
- CI/CD, self-hosting, security-first architecture
- Technical leadership, documentation, mentoring

Good code is invisible — it doesn’t crash, confuse, or grow teeth in six months. I don’t chase trends; I chase clarity, maintainability, and trust in the system.

I believe code should be boring If it’s exciting, it’s probably broken. Respect the user, fear the edge case, and never trust a default config.

I follow the zero-bullshit principle: do the work, document what matters, automate the repeatable, and encrypt everything> critical. Whether I’m fixing a legacy mess or building from scratch, the goal stays the same — ship something I’d be proud to inherit.
