# Braeden Sowinski

Backend and systems-focused developer and BCIT Computer Systems Technology student.

I like building backend services, APIs, developer tools, and self-hosted systems. Most of my work ends up somewhere around Linux, servers, networking, databases, and making small tools that solve real problems.
