Background

I build production software that runs without hand-holding. My work spans AI automation, network engineering, data pipelines, and algorithmic trading — all deployed on infrastructure I manage myself.

Everything in my portfolio is running in production right now: trading bots executing on real markets, scrapers delivering data through paid APIs, monitoring systems tracking uptime, and an AI orchestrator managing it all via SMS.

I care about reliability, clean architecture, and honest documentation. My case studies show real problems, real decisions, and real results — not hypotheticals.
