A Foundation Built on First Principles.
My journey into software development began long before my first line of code. It started with a deep-seated curiosity for how things work, which led me to deconstruct and optimize my own computer's performance. Unsatisfied with out-of-the-box speeds, I took it upon myself to understand the system's inner workings. I learned to carefully edit the registry and deploy specialized tools like Revo Uninstaller and CCleaner, all in the pursuit of peak performance.
This passion for understanding systems from the inside out naturally led me to programming in high school. What began with C++ and C# has evolved into a career dedicated to building clean, efficient, and scalable web applications. That early drive for performance and precision still informs every project I take on today.
