I'm a software engineer with 6 years of experience building scalable backend systems, primarily in Rust, TypeScript, Python and Go. I enjoy working on developer tools, performance-critical services, and privacy-first infrastructure.

Outside of work, you'll find me training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, exploring self-hosted tools, or tinkering with side projects that bridge code and creativity.

I’m especially interested in problems where correctness, performance, and clarity matter more than hype.
