A Foundation Built on First Principles.
My journey into software development began with a deep-seated curiosity for how systems work at the metal level. I didn't just want to use computers; I wanted to optimize them. I spent years analyzing operating system architecture and kernel-level performance, a pursuit that taught me the importance of efficiency and resource management.
This passion for system internals naturally evolved into a career in full-stack engineering. Today, I apply that same "optimization mindset" to web architecture—building applications that are not just functional, but performant, secure, and architecturally sound.
