More about my journey
I'm on an exciting path learning software development, exploring the full spectrum from backend services to real-time 3D web applications. My background in 3D art gives me a unique perspective on problem-solving and system design.
As an Artist: I specialize in environment design and asset creation for real-time rendering, and motion graphics/animations for product marketing.
As a Developer: I build interactive systems, mechanics, and tools primarily within Unreal Engine and web-based 3D platforms.
As a Learner: Exploring modern web technologies, real-time collaboration systems, and scalable application architecture.
Frontend → React + Vite + Three.js
Backend → Node.js (NestJS) + Prisma
Real-time → WebSockets (Socket.IO) + SSE
Database → PostgreSQL + Redis
Storage → S3/MinIO
Queue → Bull (Redis)
Testing → Vitest/Jest + Playwright/Cypress
Validation → Zod / JSON Schema
