Facts first. Opinions negotiable. Standards less so.
I keep a loud inner library.
I like fantasy series that require maps, music with distortion, ARPG builds that become spreadsheets, bettas with attitude, nature trips, gym discipline, club nights, and frontend systems that keep behaving when millions of people show up.
About
I am open-minded, but I do ask the facts to show ID.
I enjoy strong opinions when they have receipts. I am happy to change my mind, but only after the evidence has done some actual work. Sarcasm is part of the house style, humility is the preferred operating system, and I can stick to my guns when the ground under them is solid.
This site is meant to feel more like a room than a resume: books on the desk, music in the walls, fish tank nearby, game systems open, travel dust on the helmet, and one properly serious professional section because the work matters too.
Interests
The non-LinkedIn parts, because LinkedIn is not updated anyway.
BookshelfNoise Current doozy Guitar Tank notes After dark Buildcraft Outside Discipline People
Epic fantasy, preferably enormous
Malazan Book of the Fallen is the absolute favorite. The default preference is a fantasy series with at least three books, each comfortably over 500 pages.
Currently readingMennik Thorn
Current series in progress. Still accepting evidence, surprises, and the occasional chapter that makes sleep a poor life choice.
Rock, metal, and YouTube Music
Guns N' Roses, Meat Loaf, pre-2000 Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, and a favorite NWOBHM playlist. Sorry, Spotify people.
Houdini by Dua Lipa
Sometimes the current favorite refuses to fit the brand. This is healthy. Probably.
Beginner, allegedly knows all the chords
Learning licks and riffs now, with the long-term ambition of becoming a lead guitarist who can make the face and justify it.
Betta keeper and breeder
Black HMPK energy, planted tanks, breeding experiments, and constant reminders that beauty often has opinions.
EDM, techno, dance floors
Clubbing adds a different frequency: less debate, more pulse, and the rare social setting where overthinking has to keep tempo.
ARPG gamer
Diablo 4, Path of Exile 2, Titan Quest 2, Last Epoch, and the sacred ritual of pretending optimization is relaxation.
Beaches, mountains, motorbikes
Nature trips for perspective, motorbiking for motion, and enough beach or mountain air to make city life negotiable again.
Gym, five days a week
Lean, fit, consistent. Not influencer energy, just the quiet math of showing up often enough that the body gets the memo.
House parties and hosting
Friends, food, music, conversation, and the fine art of making the room feel relaxed before anyone notices the effort.
Tank references
Black HMPK mood until the real fish photos arrive.
Professional room
Frontend architecture for systems that cannot afford to be delicate.
I have 7+ years of product engineering experience across enterprise applications, including products serving around 7M AMU. The work is NDA-heavy, so public case studies are limited, but I can walk through relevant architecture and product engineering examples one on one for serious professional enquiries.
Core stack
Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, AWS, Playwright, Firebase, Postgres
Architecture focus
Design systems, performance, testing strategy, developer experience, and maintainable UI platforms
Working style
Pragmatic, evidence-led, quality-minded, and allergic to complexity that cannot explain itself

A small dashboard for the current rotation.
Freshly visible, still calibrating the signal-to-noise ratio.
