I've spent the last few years shipping real web products across TypeScript, Express, Flask, Django, Next.js, VPS deployments, Nginx, and CI/CD. That work taught me how to own delivery end to end, from implementation to release.

More recently, my attention has shifted toward systems-level programming. I've been building a disk-persistent key-value store in C and working through the invariants and edge cases involved in a B+ tree implementation. That process is where I feel most engaged: careful design, precise behavior, and understanding why a system works, not just that it works.

I still enjoy product work, especially when it involves architecture, backend design, and performance-sensitive logic, but my long-term direction leans toward storage engines, indexing structures, runtime behavior, and low-level correctness.

My default working style is pragmatic and direct. I like concrete examples, implementation details, and explanations that survive contact with reality. Correctness matters more than polish, and I would rather get to the exact edge case than stay at the level of hand-wavy theory.
