I’m a software engineer with a strong focus on backend, platform, and cloud-native systems.
I enjoy building scalable, reliable systems and understanding how real infrastructure works beyond frameworks and tutorials.
This GitHub profile reflects my journey across full-stack development, backend systems, and AI-driven platforms, with an increasing focus on system design and platform engineering.
