About Me

A brief introduction and the technologies I use.

I’m a backend-focused software developer based in London. I enjoy working on system design and backend architecture — thinking about how applications are structured, how components interact, and how data flows through a system in a clear and predictable way.

My main experience is with ASP.NET Core and C#, where I design and build RESTful APIs, apply object-oriented principles, and work with relational databases such as SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. I focus on clean architecture, separation of concerns, and writing backend code that is maintainable and scalable over time.

I also have full-stack experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js, which helps me approach backend design with the frontend in mind. Alongside development, I’m actively learning more about cloud infrastructure and security, with a growing focus on AWS and modern system design practices.
