< About />

The engineer behind the code

I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for IoT, embedded systems, and performance optimization. My journey began with full stack development within web & mobile contexts, but I quickly found myself drawn to the world of systems programming and low-level engineering.

Currently diving into C and C++ to build efficient, high-performance software that runs close to the hardware. I thrive on solving complex problems and optimizing code for maximum performance, while still maintaining a strong foundation in full-stack development.

While my core focus is C/C++, I've expanded my toolkit to include modern full-stack technologies, enabling me to bridge the gap between low-level systems and user-facing applications.

Growth Timeline

Started Coding Journey [2022]

First lines of code in C, discovering the power of low-level programming

Systems Engineering [2023 - 2027]

Learning Software Engineering principles within Java (spring boot), C#/.NET, Node.js, SQL, MongoDB, Neo4J, Frontend & Backend. Being in school as working for companies as a student worker and intern.

Trying out startup life [2024 - 2026]

Founding three startups, Launchly (AI & Software Engineering), StudyMate (AI & Software Engineering) and Amuse (SaaS & Software Engineering). Gaining experience in more than just coding, but also in architecture, databases, software documentation and business/startup skills.

First steps to C/C++ Software Engineer [2026]

Expanded skills to include C/C++ and systems programming, while still doing full stack development. Gaining experience in IoT and embedded software development.
