About me
See my workI'm a full-stack engineer focused on practical products with strong fundamentals. My work spans web development, applied AI, immersive applications, and systems-level engineering.
I build with React, Next.js, Python, Node.js, and cloud tooling, while also using C, C++, Rust, and Unity when the work calls for performance, simulation, or interactive systems.
Long term, I'm building depth in DevOps, security, privacy-first design, and AI-assisted tooling while continuing to ship useful software now.

Full-Stack & DevOps Engineer
Developed and maintained full-stack web platforms end-to-end (TypeScript, Vue.js, Node.js/Express, MongoDB/PostgreSQL/Redis), redesigned backend services and schemas, and owned containerized production infrastructure.
- ▹Developed and maintained full-stack web platforms end-to-end (TypeScript, Vue.js with Composition API, Node.js/Express, MongoDB/PostgreSQL/Redis), redesigning backend services and NoSQL/SQL schemas, cutting query latency ~40%.
- ▹Built Python/FastAPI real-time network security monitoring with 8+ microservices, WebSocket pipelines, Redis caching, and SQL storage, achieving <200ms alert latency
- ▹Designed GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Ansible workflows cutting deployment time ~60%; applied IaC principles to configuration management
- ▹Implemented JWT auth, RBAC/ABAC access control, and LDAP integration across service boundaries; wrote automated test scripts integrated into CI/CD
- ▹Architected and operated microservice infrastructure on Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, sustaining 99.5%+ uptime in production with full monitoring and incident-response ownership
- ▹Delivered 95%+ sprint completion rate driving features independently in an agile, cross-functional team

Selected projects
A cross-section of systems, platforms, and research-backed experiences that balance technical depth with clarity and usability.
Enclave
A local-first, zero-knowledge desktop note-taking app. Notes stay encrypted at rest, with P2P sync over local Wi-Fi through mDNS discovery and WebRTC. The architecture keeps receiving devices unable to read notes without the user's derived key.
RustTauriAxumTokioCRDTWebRTC
View projectCryptLearn
A production-grade cryptography learning platform with JWT auth, refresh-token rotation in HttpOnly cookies, hashed refresh token storage, and three-tier RBAC. The frontend includes live Caesar, Base64, SHA, and RSA tools plus progress tracking.
