  • Separate dashboards for teachers, students, and administrators
  • RESTful APIs with comprehensive Swagger documentation
  • PostgreSQL with optimized query patterns for sub-second response times

πŸ’‘ Design Philosophy

I build software guided by these principles:

🎯 Production-First
   └─ Every line of code should be deployable to real users

🧩 Clean Architecture
   └─ Maintainable, testable, and understandable by others

⚑ Performance Matters
   └─ Measure everything, optimize what counts

🌍 Open Source
   └─ Share knowledge, build in public, lift others up

πŸ”’ Security by Design
   └─ Authentication, authorization, and encryption from day one

πŸ“ˆ Current Focus

  • πŸ”¨ Building next-generation real-time collaboration tools
  • πŸš€ Contributing to open-source distributed systems
  • πŸ“š Exploring Rust for system-level performance optimization
  • 🌐 Scaling WebSocket infrastructure for 100K+ concurrent users
