Full-stack software engineer with 10+ years building production systems across the entire stack. I don't fit in one box - I work with databases, backend, frontend, and everything in between.
I believe that professional excellence is rooted in personal curiosity. For me, the line between architecting Netflix systems and managing a complex homelab is thin; both require a deep understanding of infrastructure, security, and the drive to build robust, scalable solutions. This intersection of "work" and "hobby" is where I find my most innovative breakthroughs.
