About Me

I'm a Senior Full-Stack Developer and Network Infrastructure Engineer with over eight years of hands-on experience designing, building, and securing production systems.

My work sits at the intersection of clean application architecture and resilient infrastructure. On the application side I build with PHP & Laravel, WordPress, and C# / .NET; on the infrastructure side I administer Linux servers, automate with Bash, and design secure networks — from routing and firewalls to VPNs and DNS.

I care about measurable outcomes: faster response times, higher uptime, tighter security, and code that the next engineer can actually read.
