My Core Drive: Building robust systems is my path to financial independence and achieving the goal of retiring my parents early. I approach engineering with the tenacity of someone focused on fundamentals and clear financial targets.
- A Beginner's Mindset: Treating myself as an engineer-in-training, not a pro.
- Prioritizing Fundamentals over relying blindly on frameworks or AI code generation.
- Focused on improving and maintaining the systems I’ve already shipped.
- Developing an efficient, focused, non-distractive development workflow using Linux (Omarchy btw), Neovim, and structured daily practice.
| Comfortable to Ship With | Learning Deeply Now |
|---|---|
| Backend: Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB | Core Web: HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript (First Principles) |
| Frontend: React / Next.js, Tailwind CSS | Architecture: Clean State/API Design, Database Relationships & Migrations |
| Tools: Git, Basic Python scripting | Reliability: Testing, Error Handling, Deployment |
- Build reliable systems that people and businesses can depend on
- Make deployments boring (reliable, repeatable)
- Upgrade patience — v2.0 (LTS)
- Successfully transition my local project experience (TMR, InvoiceApp) into stable remote work / SaaS.
- Document my learning journey publicly to share the actual grind, not just outcomes.
If you’re a developer, founder, or team looking for someone who is early but serious, who ships, learns deliberately, and values stable architecture, I’d love to talk.
