I started programming in Java back in 2016–2017, during my second year of high school, well before I knew where it would take me. Over the years I deepened my foundation in Java SE, Design Patterns, and SOLID principles, then went on to complete my associate degree in Computer Programming (2021–2024), during which I picked up Spring Framework, Hibernate, and a genuine passion for building things.
Outside of formal coursework, I got into game modding and server-side development, shipping multiple projects, and selling them as a freelancer. It was hands-on, self-directed, and taught me more than any classroom did. After graduating, I went deep on Domain-Driven Design and Hexagonal Architecture, drawn to the way they bring structure and intention to complex systems. Since 2025, I've been rounding out my skill set on the frontend side with Vue.js, Sass, and UI/UX design in Figma, and at this point I work comfortably across the full stack. I'm currently building WeLiveCoach, an e-sport coaching platform, entirely solo. On the side, I'm advancing my knowledge in C++, with a focus on graphics APIs, game development, and modding.
I enjoy both ends of the spectrum: the closeness of systems programming and the clarity of good abstraction. I find value in each, and I try not to treat either as an absolute.
