About
I'm a software developer with over 20 years of experience in Linux and systems programming. I specialize in low-level languages and building robust, efficient software—from cloud infrastructure (AWS) to systems-level code.
I've spent two decades working close to the hardware—network protocols, device drivers, and cloud infrastructure—and enjoy tackling problems that need both technical depth and clear design.
I focus on software that is performant, maintainable, and well-architected, from systems-level code to deployment pipelines.

Interests & Focus Areas
Beyond core development, I follow new technologies and open source. I like system internals, low-level behavior, and practical cloud/infrastructure—AWS, secure hosting, and automation.
I have a strong interest in network security, exploring the latest techniques in securing network communications, analyzing vulnerabilities, and developing robust security solutions. The intersection of networking and security presents fascinating challenges that I find both intellectually stimulating and practically important.
When I'm not coding, you might find me experimenting with new programming paradigms or contributing to discussions about systems architecture, network security, and design patterns.
