About me
What led me toward development, infrastructure and security
I started programming out of curiosity, tinkering with personal projects long before it became an academic path. That curiosity led me naturally toward infrastructure and security: understanding how systems work, how they communicate and how to protect them.
What drives me is solving concrete problems end to end, from application code all the way to production deployment. I enjoy designing a user interface as much as configuring the network that makes it reachable. That range is what pushes me to understand every layer of a system rather than stopping at one.
