Computer Science graduate with experience across software, systems, and small‑business infrastructure. I enjoy building reliable tools, understanding how systems behave, and solving practical problems with clear reasoning. My background mixes backend development, Linux environments, and hands‑on IT work, giving me a broad foundation for engineering roles.
