Building things
close to the metal.
I'm a systems engineer and Rust developer. I care about the parts of a system most people never see; the layers where reliability, performance, and correctness are decided.
I live inside the shell and Sublime Text.

~/about
About Me
I work in IT systems engineering and I'm moving toward a DevOps role where I still get to write real code. Rust is my primary language; I reach for Python and Bash when the job calls for them.
I like understanding the why behind a design decision, not just the how; and I'd rather sit with a hard problem than paper over it. Lately that curiosity has been pulling me toward developing a socialmedia platform.
Outside of that, I run and maintain a few things of my own, and I'm always happy to talk about systems, infrastructure, and the trade-offs underneath.
Apart from IT, my hobbies do include but are not limited to:
- Doing city trips
- Meeting new people
- Listening to a lot of music
- Meeting up with friends
