I'm a Backend Engineer with years of hands-on experience building backend systems, developer tooling, bots, and platform APIs. I have a background in Electrical Engineering, trained through ALX's backend engineering program, and I've taught myself most of what I know through projects, reading, and real-world trial.
- π Building modular, API-first backend systems β REST, WebSockets, GraphQL, gRPC
- βοΈ Automating workflows with bots and scripts for Telegram, Discord, and internal tools
- π¦ Working with queues, workers, webhooks, and rate-limiting pipelines
- βοΈ Shipping production apps using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Google Cloud Run
- π Designing secure systems (OAuth2, RBAC, secrets management, request validation)
- π Currently building: a social platform for discovering and sharing events
- Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C
- Frameworks: Node.js (Express, NestJS), Flask

System architecture, automation, infrastructure, event-driven design, and real-world problem solving. I enjoy long-form content, security research, and reading about metaphysics and consciousness. I'm also a believer that small, useful systems > over-engineered complexity.

Currently open to collaboration, open-source contributions, and backend-focused roles where clean architecture and shipping value matter more than buzzwords.
