🚀 Software Engineer 🚀 | Obsessed with Networking 🌐 | Computer Enthusiast 💻 | Building robust, scalable systems.

System-level engineer building reliable backend systems with a focus on performance, correctness, and real-world constraints. I work across APIs, databases, networking, and infrastructure, enjoy understanding how systems behave under load and failure, and write to break down complex backend and distributed-systems concepts through practical, real-world learnings.
