About

About Me

I'm a software developer with a strong foundation in mathematics and physics (M.Sc. in Mathematics, Engineer Physicist). I design and build full-stack applications end-to-end — from system architecture and REST APIs to databases, DevOps pipelines, and automated testing. My background in applied mathematics and high-performance computing gives me an edge on performance-critical, data-intensive problems: multithreading, numerical methods, and optimization. I care about clean, secure, well-tested, and well-documented code, and I thrive in collaborative, fast-moving teams — picking up new languages, tools, and domains quickly to turn complex technical challenges into reliable software.
