01 / how I work
Three connected disciplines. My strongest work happens where product quality, reliable delivery, and security meet.
01 Product engineering I build interfaces and application flows that make a product easy to understand and use, then connect them to the services behind them.
React 19 and TypeScript application development Responsive interfaces and reusable component systems API integrations, authentication, and data flows 02 Systems & delivery I work across the code and the path it takes to production: automation, Linux operations, source control, and deployment.
Python utilities and repeatable automation Linux administration, shell scripting, and C programming foundations Repository workflows and cloud deployment 03 Secure engineering Security is part of how I approach software: understand the attack surface, validate risk in authorized settings, and make the next fix clear.
Application and network vulnerability assessment Web request inspection and controlled exploit validation Risk prioritization and developer-focused documentation 03 / foundations
Built on fundamentals. Coursework that supports the way I reason about software, systems, and security.
