Background
About Me
I’m a full-stack developer in progress with a strong interest in Linux, homelabbing, and understanding how systems work beneath the surface. I enjoy building projects end to end, experimenting with new tools, and blending clean design with practical engineering.
I started with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then moved into React and Node.js, eventually working with Next.js and TypeScript. I’m particularly drawn to the operational side of development, from containerizing services with Docker to running and maintaining full application stacks on my own infrastructure. I enjoy understanding how frontend, backend, and deployment all fit together as a cohesive system.
Outside of development, I spend time playing guitar, gaming, exploring anime and visual novels, and staying active through biking, hiking, and the gym. Curiosity and continuous learning drive everything I do.
