About Me

I'm a backend developer and IT professional with a passion for building systems that scale. My work lives in the space between application logic and infrastructure — writing server-side code, designing data models, and managing the cloud environments that tie it all together.

I thrive on clean architecture, operational reliability, and the details that make a system trustworthy under pressure. Whether it's a complex database query, a containerized deployment pipeline, or a networking challenge, I approach every problem with rigor and curiosity.

ZED Travel

A travel listing platform that helps airline employees find routes they can actually book on their ZED benefits, filtering out flights they're not eligible for.

Self-Hosted Home Cloud
