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.

| Backend | Systems | Operations |
| --- | --- | --- |
| REST APIs, services, data models | Linux, networking, lower-level work | Docker, CI/CD, Nginx, observability |
