About Me 💻

I'm a Computer Science Engineer with a knack for turning complex ideas into elegant code. From building scalable solutions with Next.js, React, and Python to crafting interactive maps with Leaflet or real-time systems with Websockets, I've done it all—and enjoyed every bug-squashing moment. I've designed distributed architectures, enhanced UI components, implemented payment systems, and even converted pixel-perfect PSDs to sleek, responsive layouts.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me stargazing, diving into the mysteries of AI and cryptocurrency, or engineering new ways to stay healthy—mentally and physically. Space exploration excites me almost as much as a clean CI/CD pipeline (almost) 🚀. In short, I build, explore, and tinker—on Earth and beyond.

Full Stack Engineer

Enzode

As a Full Stack Engineer, I design and implement scalable solutions using Next.js, React, and TypeScript for front-end development, and Python with Django and FastAPI for back-end microservices, with PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data management. I actively contribute to system design, troubleshooting, and team collaboration in daily scrums, reducing bug counts and ensuring timely delivery. I also assist with recruitment, mentor developers, and build distributed architectures with Kafka and Conductor to optimize workflows and minimize downtime. Additionally, I implement payment systems like PayPal and Revolut to enhance transaction reliability and efficiency.
