Full-Stack Development
Responsive interfaces, application logic, APIs, databases, authentication, and the pieces that make a product actually function.
About me
Building real projects and solving real problems.
I build full-stack applications and APIs with Python, Django, JavaScript, and React. My learning has been practical: build something, hit a problem, understand the system behind it, then improve it.
I started with full-stack development and backend engineering, and I am now moving deeper into AI development. I am exploring LLM applications, local models, RAG, AI agents, and developer tools while keeping strong software foundations underneath.
What I work on
Engineering focus
Backend & APIs
Django and Django REST Framework applications with authentication, permissions, CRUD, filtering, pagination, and external integrations.
AI Development
Building toward practical AI systems with LLM applications, local models, RAG, agents, automation, and developer-focused tooling.
Deployment & Infrastructure
Linux-based deployment, Nginx, Gunicorn, Docker, environment configuration, HTTPS, debugging, and production-minded workflows.

What I am learning while building
Why I am building toward AI instead of skipping straight to AI
AI is more useful when the engineer underneath it understands software, APIs, databases, deployment, and failure modes.
Follow the notes on XWhat deployment taught me about backend engineering
Getting an application onto a Linux server changes the questions. Processes, reverse proxies, permissions, security, and logs suddenly matter.
Follow the notes on XLearning DSA by understanding the problem first
I am focusing on why a data structure or algorithm fits a problem instead of collecting solutions that only look familiar.
Follow the notes on XLearning with local models and limited hardware
Working with local AI tools forces you to understand constraints instead of assuming every model has an infinite GPU budget.
