Software engineer · Systems & network administrator
From Linux and networks to data models, APIs, and deployment, I combine software engineering with systems administration to build maintainable, production-ready solutions.

Selected work
Projects presented through their constraints, architecture, and the tradeoffs that shaped their implementation.
A modern church website designed to strengthen the church's digital presence by providing access to sermons, events, Bible reading guides, church information, and community resources through an intuitive and responsive interface.
A modern corporate website developed for Impact Group to showcase its business activities, services, projects, and company information. The platform provides a professional digital presence with responsive design, multilingual content management, and optimized user experience.
A production-grade full-stack portfolio platform designed as a personal engineering ecosystem. Features a NestJS backend, JWT-secured admin dashboard, analytics tracking, multilingual content management, project showcase system, and Markdown-powered blogging infrastructure deployed on a Linux VPS.
Battle-tested shell scripts and Docker configurations for deploying NestJS and Next.js applications on bare Linux servers. Covers Nginx reverse proxy, SSL via Certbot, environment management, and PM2 process lifecycle.
Expertise
I choose tools around the problem, then work on the boundaries, contracts, and operations that make the system durable.
Modern interfaces, modular APIs, and shared types keep behavior predictable across the stack.
Explicit relational schemas, boundary validation, and queries designed to preserve data integrity.
Containers, reverse proxies, process lifecycle, and Linux diagnostics connect code decisions to operational reality.
Actively exploring
I am extending this backend and infrastructure foundation into data engineering and analysis without presenting learning as established expertise.
Trajectory
My path connects three layers that are often separated: understanding how systems run, building the software that uses them, and learning to turn their data into decisions.
Foundation
Engineering studies at ESIS followed by a transition into application development through KADEA Academy.
Understand machines, networks, and real constraints before abstracting them away.
Delivery
React applications, NestJS APIs, relational databases, and deployments owned from end to end.
Build readable, modular systems that remain maintainable after the first release.
Direction
Deepening Python, analytical SQL, and data pipelines on top of an established backend foundation.
Connect ingestion, data quality, and analytical use cases without skipping fundamentals.
Engineering notes
Practical field notes on backend architecture, security, and operating Node.js services in production.
The complete path from build to TLS, including the decisions that make deployments repeatable.
A revocable authentication flow designed for sessions across multiple devices.
Clear module boundaries that keep a 20-endpoint API from becoming painful at 80.
I am open to backend and full-stack roles, focused freelance work, and serious technical conversations.
