I build backends, and the sites and apps that sit on them. Since June 2026 I have worked on uniTAD’s FastAPI backend, Next.js site and Expo app as a Software Engineering Intern.

I got into software through a repurposed laptop running Linux, which I had to keep alive because nobody else could. I still care most about how code gets to production and what breaks once it is there.
At uniTAD that is the backend half of the product: migrations that run before the server boots, tests that block a merge, and the Stripe webhook that has to be right when someone is charged.
I use Claude Code every day. It helps me deliver real features on time, and the code holds up in review. Working well with AI is now part of the job, and it’s one of the skills I’ve worked hard on.
I graduate in 2027 and I’m looking for backend and full-stack roles. Away from a keyboard I play chess and football, go to the gym and travel.
