I'm a Software Engineer who turns messy data into elegant systems. For 5+ years, I've built scrapers, APIs, and automation tools that just work quietly, reliably, in the background where good systems belong.
Python + Django is home. PHP keeps me versatile. Jetpack Compose brings my backend brain to mobile with clean, modern Android apps. I build tools that make life easier, one solid system at a time.
