How I work

Frontend

Most of my day is in React, Next.js, and TypeScript codebases. I care about UI performance and developer experience.

Backend & ML

On the server side I work with Go and Python. APIs, realtime systems, and integrating ML models into production workflows.

Infrastructure

I run my own home lab on a Proxmox cluster — Kubernetes, Cloudflare Tunnels, Tailscale, Grafana + Prometheus, GitHub Actions. Comfortable taking something from local dev all the way to production.

Now

At Mindtrace, working on platform engineering across frontend, backend, and ML.
