I think in systems, and I believe people should get to decide what the world knows about them.

Privacy is the thread that ties my work together, from eight years of independent building to the credentials below. And this site is the proof.

BSIT + MSITM

Dual IT degrees nearly finished, backed by daily hands-on Linux, containerization, and monitoring practice at home.

The short version

I’ve been building for the web for about eight years, working for myself the whole time, which means I’ve owned every layer: the design, the code, the analytics, and the business behind them. I’m now steering that experience toward the infrastructure side: Linux systems, IT operations, and privacy-and-security-minded engineering.

That combination is the point. I have the hands to build, the education to manage, and a worldview, privacy-first thinking, that makes the breadth coherent. I’m open to roles across DevOps, IT management, and privacy-adjacent work, and honest about not forcing myself into a single title yet.
