About Me

I'm a devoted Senior Software Engineer who enjoys tackling new challenges. Over the past 15 years, from aerospace and military industries to tech, I've been building frameworks and distributed systems while actively contributing to the open source community.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me prototyping hardware solutions, building custom keyboards, and crafting electronic gadgets. I believe the best solutions come from understanding both software and hardware perspectives.
