$ whoami

Backend developer with 15+ years in the trenches. I've seen frameworks rise and fall, rewrote monoliths into microservices (and sometimes back), and learned that the hardest bugs live between systems, not inside them. These days I write Rust because life's too short for segfaults and null pointers.

I collect programming languages the way some people collect vinyl. Each one reshapes how I think — Haskell taught me to fear side effects, Go taught me the beauty of boring code, Elixir showed me what fault tolerance really means. But Rust is the one that stuck. It makes me a better engineer, not just a faster one.
