Software Engineer.
Systems, Security, & Scale.
I engineer robust backend architectures, zero-trust security layers, and high-performance storage systems—delivered through fluid, cross-platform interfaces.
Driven by first-principles engineering and a deep understanding of system architecture.
Engineering Projects.
Systems architecture, security implementations, and high-performance cross-platform applications.
Secure Cloud Storage Platform
Self-hosted Private Drive
A private cloud drive engineered for secure remote access and fast file handling. Supports organizing, previewing, and streaming large files seamlessly across devices.
Engineering Highlights
- ✓ Streaming Uploads
- ✓ Chunked Media Playback
- ✓ End-to-End Encryption
- ✓ Tailscale Networking
Zero Trust Gateway System
Policy-enforcing Security Layer
Implements Zero-Trust principles by verifying identity and enforcing role-based access control at the network boundary. Backend services remain private with no auth logic embedded.
Engineering Highlights
- ✓ Reverse Proxy Architecture
- ✓ Decoupled Authentication
- ✓ JWT Verification
- ✓ Dynamic RBAC Policies
AMADRA
Community Social Platform
A social platform built for sharing posts and images within communities. Features a high-performance relational schema to handle complex feed queries and user relationships.
Engineering Highlights
- ✓ Relational Schema Design
- ✓ Cross-platform Delivery
- ✓ Real-time Feeds
- ✓ Optimized Image Delivery
Waypoint
Job Application Tracker SaaS
A full-stack SaaS product for tracking a job search end to end — authentication, a relational database, and a real Stripe subscription flow, deployed to a custom domain. Deliberately designed the pricing model around the psychology of job seekers: the free tier is fully unlimited, and the paid tier only gates optional convenience features rather than core functionality.
Engineering Highlights
- ✓ Full CRUD with Server/Client Component architecture
- ✓ Webhook-driven Stripe subscription state
- ✓ Multi-tenant data isolation per user
- ✓ Custom domain + production auth (Clerk, Google OAuth)
GitClone
Version Control Internals
A functional implementation of Git built from scratch to understand version control internals. Includes a custom object database for blobs, trees, and commits with SHA-1 hashing.
Engineering Highlights
- ✓ Object Database
- ✓ SHA-1 Hashing
- ✓ Tree Structures
- ✓ Commit History
Engineering Philosophy.
First Principles Thinking
I approach software engineering by understanding the lowest levels of abstraction before reaching for frameworks.
Whether it's designing a high-throughput streaming architecture, enforcing security at the network boundary, or structuring a relational database for complex queries, my focus is always on creating resilient, scalable systems that solve real problems elegantly.
