Hey there! I'm a software engineer focused on backend development and automation.

(The SWE bit is kinda obvious huh haha)

Currently building skills in backend development, automation, and lightweight web tooling.

What I do

I work primarily with Python and JavaScript building backend services, automation tooling, and internal applications.

Languages I use the most:

  • Python
  • JavaScript (NodeJS)

Languages I've experimented with:

  • Java
  • C++

Here's a few things I've made:

  • Personal Site backend proxy - I needed a way to call my substack RSS feed with CORS for displaying on my site, so I built a small backend proxy that I hosted on Render as an intermediary point.
  • Twitter Post to Markdown Convertor - Wanted an easy way to locally save a post from Twitter (X), so I built a little script that leverages Selenium to scrape the post text and convert it to a .md file. (Results may vary if the parsing format was updated on Twitter's side)
  • Personal Website - Personal website I am regularly iterating on. Longterm goal is for it to be a centralized repository of all my interests, projects, thoughts, ideas, or otherwise.
  • Minecraft world save mover script - I wanted to be able to copy a minecraft world from a server I was hosting to my local minecraft instance so they were synced and I could mess with a currently updated version of the world without needing to boot up the server. It's a small script, but it was very useful for the specfic issue I had.

What I'm learning:

  • Backend and API design
  • Testing frameworks for unit and performance testing
  • Systems-level thinking
  • Working on Portfolio projects

Projects in progress:

  • Job tracker API: Wanting to build a small tool for myself to systematically track, update, and plot job applications
  • Personal website (WIP and have more plans to fully develop this)

Future endeavours:

Future interests include systems engineering, robotics, and embedded systems... assuming I keep building things instead of overthinking them lol
