About Me

A little more about my journey, interests, and the gear I use.

Who I Am

I am a Computer Science graduate with an Engineer's degree, specializing in Backend Development and System Architecture. I am currently actively seeking new professional opportunities where I can engineer complete solutions from database design to deployment.

Currently expanding my expertise into DevOps and Infrastructure by building a bare-metal home server to master networking and virtualization. In my free time, I channel my competitive nature into strategic gaming.

# My Interests

Tech & Hardware

I love building PCs and I'm passionate about hardware specifications, especially GPUs. I'm always keeping up with the latest tech news and innovations.

RAG & LLM

I enjoy building data extraction systems based on AI models. I've primarily worked with LangChain4j and LangChain, where I've built a complete ingestion pipeline.

Cycling

My bike: Romet Mustang M1 CS 19" 29". I enjoy riding both off-road and road routes.

Gym

I've recently started my journey with strength training. I find that the discipline required in the gym complements the focus needed for development. It's a great way to balance a sedentary lifestyle, and seeing tangible results is a huge motivator.

# My Journey

1st Year: Foundations

Grasped the low-level data representation: binary arithmetic, bitwise operations, and boolean algebra. Simultaneously built a strong foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using C#, focusing on clean code structures and type safety.

2nd Year: Algorithms & Full-Stack

Mastered standard Data Structures and Algorithms. Transitioned from theory to practice by developing desktop applications. Learned to design relational databases and handle application logic efficiently.

3rd Year: Specialization & Practice

Pivoted to the Java ecosystem to specialize in Enterprise Backend. Co-developed 'Cibaria' using Spring Boot and Angular, implementing industry-standard Git workflows.

4th Year: Thesis & Advanced Projects

Successfully defended Engineering Thesis. Developed 'Gamelog', where I mastered Redis for high-performance data caching. Exploring the intersection of Backend and AI by building 'LlamaTalks' – integrating LLMs (LangChain) with Java-based systems and vector databases.

Future: Growth & Specialization

My goal is to leverage my skills as a full-time Backend Developer. I plan to pursue an extramural (weekend) Master's degree, ensuring full availability during business hours while deepening my CS expertise.

# My Philosophy

Clean Code

I believe in the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. I write code that is not only functional but also clean, maintainable, and easy for others to understand.

Continuous Learning

The tech world is constantly evolving, and I'm committed to growing with it. Every project is an opportunity to learn something new and improve my skills.

Problem-Solving

I see myself as a problem-solver first. I enjoy analyzing complex challenges and designing elegant, efficient solutions.
