started out on a potato machine that forced me to care about how things actually work. spent a few years squeezing performance out of it, got it running faster than macbooks with three times the specs. that got me into linux, compilers, operating systems, and memory.
got into python and bash to automate whatever i could, which opened up an interest for data — manipulating datasets, optimizing queries, making constrained systems do more than they should. that experience turned into solving ctf challenges, algorithm problems and reasoning about systems at a lower level.
in college, worked on fullstack, architecture-focused projects for real users before ai tooling made that easier.
i've always leaned pure backend, but picked up fullstack during an internship and ended up going deep into rendering, caching, and performance. at some point took a page sitting at 6–7 second load times and brought it down to 800ms–1.2s. bragged about it a lot.
most of my interest sits around how things scale, how they break, and how to make them simpler and faster.
