About Me
I'm a software engineer passionate about building systems that work close to the hardware. Whether it's writing firmware for microcontrollers, building desktop renderers, or crafting polished web experiences — I focus on clean code and maintainable architecture.
I enjoy understanding how things work at a fundamental level, from CPU architectures to rendering pipelines. This curiosity drives me to continuously learn and explore new domains in software development.
