I’m a student software developer with strong hands-on experience in Linux-based development, systems programming, and automation. I focus on building practical tools and scripts that improve productivity, reliability, and day-to-day workflows.

I’m particularly interested in low-level software, cybersecurity concepts, and performance-oriented programming, and I’m actively expanding into financial and quantitative-style development (data analysis, modeling, and efficient computation).

I work primarily in Linux environments, using Arch Linux as my main operating system, and I also manage Linux servers, including a self-hosted homelab.

• 🧠 x64 Operating System Development
  Building a custom OS using GRUB, focusing on low-level architecture, memory management, and system design.

• 🛠️ Developer Tools & Automation
  Creating Python and Bash tools to streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and improve daily productivity.

• 📊 Financial / Quantitative Programming (Learning Phase)
  Exploring data analysis, modeling, and performance-focused computation using Python and DuckDB.

• 🖥️ Homelab & Linux Infrastructure
  Maintaining and improving a custom Linux-based homelab server for experimentation, services, and infrastructure learning.

• Python – automation, tooling, data analysis
• C++ – systems and performance-critical code
• Bash – scripting and system automation
