What I'm into

Three areas I keep coming back to

Application Development

Building useful software, solving problems with code, and turning ideas into working applications. I use AI as a development tool to develop the front-end to move faster and focus on making the underlying software work.

JavaScript, React, Python

Backend & Systems

Understanding what happens behind the interface: application logic, APIs, data flow, and how different parts of a system communicate.

Node.js, Express, APIs

Hands-On Technology

Learning by experimenting with real hardware, networking, and Linux. I enjoy getting things working, troubleshooting problems, and understanding how the pieces fit together.
