Professional Background
I'm a backend developer and systems programmer with a passion for building everything from APIs and emulators to interactive game experiences.
Industry Experience
At anevis solutions, I worked extensively with Java and the Spring framework to develop reporting platforms, maintain PostgreSQL and MongoDB databases, and optimize CI/CD pipelines.
Personal Projects
Beyond professional work, I design complex backend systems for games, including custom rendering pipelines, real-time shaders, and narrative engines in Unity and WebGL. My personal projects span a variety of technologies, including C/C++, Zig, HLSL, and low-level system programming.
Technical Philosophy
I enjoy tackling performance-critical problems, experimenting with new technologies, and creating experiences that blend technical rigor with engaging interactivity. Explore my projects to see how my backend expertise powers gameplay, simulations, and interactive applications directly in the browser.
