About me

My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, distributed systems, and networking - from full-stack products to Kubernetes and 5G/6G experimentation. I enjoy problems where architecture, infrastructure, and measurable performance meet, and I care about building systems that are understandable, reproducible, and reliable.

Alongside research and engineering, I support programming and cloud-infrastructure education through hands-on labs, projects, and technical guidance.

Featured projects

Kubernetes Pod Forwarding Latency

Stack: Kubernetes, Calico, Python, Scapy, tcpdump

A reproducible experiment measuring packet-latency changes across a Kubernetes forwarding chain.

Eventure

Stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js, Phaser, Socket.IO, Jitsi, Docker

A real-time virtual event platform with multiplayer spaces, live networking, video conferencing, and administrative tooling, built by a three-person team I led.

Deployfolio

Stack: Next.js, NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, pgvector, AWS

A portfolio and recruitment platform with GitHub imports, AI-assisted content, semantic project discovery, and role-aware workflows.

ChatGPT SecureCopy

Stack: JavaScript, Chrome Extensions API, privacy-aware UX

A browser extension that applies configurable redaction mappings before sensitive clipboard text reaches ChatGPT's prompt field.

Engineering toolbox

Java C++ Python TypeScript Spring Boot NestJS Node.js

AWS Terraform Kubernetes Docker PostgreSQL MongoDB Prisma

GitHub Actions OpenAPI Prometheus Grafana

Current focus

I am currently deepening my work in cloud-native networking, performance experimentation, and production backend engineering. I am especially interested in problems where systems design, infrastructure, intelligent automation, and measurable performance meet.

I am also exploring an MCP server as a controlled and auditable communication layer between an agentic AI system and a Kubernetes cluster.

Have an interesting systems problem? Let's talk.
