About
I like building useful things and figuring out how they should hold together.
A lot of my projects sit between web development, backend systems, and security-focused software. I care about how the pieces connect, not just how they look in screenshots.

Story
How I got into this.
I got into building software through the same thing that still motivates me now: I like making complicated systems feel understandable. That started with scripting and experimentation, then expanded into desktop security tools, modern web applications, legal workflows, and infrastructure-minded problem solving.
The common thread is integration work. Next.js product surfaces, Go services, database boundaries, and secure file handling all fail in the handoffs if the edges are not planned.
The projects I like best feel polished because errors, edge cases, deployment, and maintenance were considered early.

Scripter & Systems Engineer, Spring 2023 to Present
- Built reusable application modules, integrations, and custom tooling for collaborative client projects.
- Helped standardize shared logic and shorten implementation time by turning one-off code into reusable systems.
- Improved stability across independently built components by tightening their integration boundaries.

Focus
The kinds of projects I keep coming back to.
Windows security tools
FileLocker is a shipped WinUI 3 / WebView2 app for local file protection and guided maintenance workflows.
Web security scanners
Sentinel Tools packages URL, repository, and file checks behind one hub with visible score deductions.
Legal workflow software
StolenMule turns dense legal operations into reviewable workflows without weakening security or financial controls.
Privacy and deployment experiments
I keep smaller builds around when they teach a specific constraint, like real-time overlays or deployment configuration.

How I like to work
- I like turning vague goals into a concrete scope with a clear first ship.
- I prefer modular systems that are easy to extend instead of clever one-off implementations.
- I care about communication, handoffs, and documentation because good engineering is collaborative.
- I try to balance ambition with practicality so the result is both interesting and maintainable.
