Skills & Strengths

Systems that run, code that breathes, and decisions that make sense.

With nearly 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked across stacks, platforms, industries, and weird edge cases.
Below are not just tools I’ve used — but spaces where I’ve delivered. I’ve outgrown tutorials. I build from understanding.


✅ Back-end architecture

I build systems that stay reliable under stress. From legacy cleanups to real-time APIs.

  • PHP, C/C++, Node.js
  • REST APIs, webhooks, CLI tooling
  • SQL (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL)
  • Auth flows, data migrations, process automation
  • Version control with GIT
  • Shell scripting (Bash, Powershell, CMD)

Some of these I’ve used since before GitHub existed.


💻 Front-end & interaction

I like clean UI, but I love functional UX. Built for users, not just pixels.

  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • HTML5 / CSS3 / Tailwind
  • Angular, Cordova/PhoneGap
  • Dashboard interfaces, data visualisation, templating systems

I’ve been building front-ends since IE6 was still a thing.


🔐 Security & infrastructure

I’ve poked at systems since before it was cool.
Not a hacker, just very curious.

  • Pen testing / white-hat background
  • DNS, SSL, session flaws, injection logic
  • Experience with neglected systems + quick hardening
  • Familiar with uptime monitoring, server lockdowns, and common exploits

I was reporting vulnerabilities to sysadmins when I was still in high school.


🧠 Thinking in systems

I don’t just write code — I solve bottlenecks.
That might be a tool, a fix, or just the right decision at the right moment.

  • Building developer tooling
  • Understanding how tech connects to real-life processes
  • Communicating clearly with non-technical people
  • Working alone or embedded in teams (Agile/Scrum/light chaos)

Not on the list? That’s fine.
I learn fast. The tech always changes. The thinking stays.
