01 — Story

How I think about software

I'm a software engineer with a strong foundation in backend engineering, scientific computing and numerical algorithms. I am focused on turning client's requirements into efficient, real-world systems. I specialise in building robust web applications, computational tools, and data-driven applications.

My experience spans frontend and backend development, API integration, algorithm design, and performance-oriented programming.

Beyond development, I actively teach and mentor students in mathematics, science, and programming. I'm passionate about collaborative research, open-source innovation, and building tools that make scientific problem-solving more accessible. If your work involves fullstack development, computational science, modelling, or algorithmic systems — I'm always open to connecting.
