Full-Stack Developer · Security-focused systems
I build fast, boring, secure things that last.
About
I’ve always been more interested in how systems behave over time than in chasing the latest tools. I like understanding what’s actually happening under the hood — how things fail, how they break, and how small decisions compound months or years later.
Early on, I spent a lot of time learning about web security and common vulnerabilities: weak authentication, password handling, cryptographic basics, and the practical realities of real-world attacks. That background strongly influences how I design and ship systems today.
I explored ethical hacking and vulnerability research, but eventually realized I’m more interested in prevention than constant firefighting. I prefer building systems that are predictable, auditable, and boring enough to stay secure without endless attention.
Privacy-first by default. Minimal infrastructure. Fewer dependencies.
Work
I focus on building and maintaining web systems with an emphasis on security, simplicity, and long-term maintainability. My approach tends to favor clear designs, small infrastructures, and decisions that reduce unnecessary complexity over time.
- Web platforms with hardened backends
- Self-hosted, low-cost infrastructure where it makes sense
- Security-aware tooling and practical reviews
