The Human
Behind the Code

I'm a Python backend developer passionate about building systems that are not just functional — but beautifully engineered. I believe good code tells a story.

When I'm not writing APIs or optimising database queries, you'll find me grinding leetcode problems, contributing to open source, or debugging something that shouldn't have broken.

I'm currently open to backend engineering roles and interesting open source collaborations.
