## About

Software Engineer looking for new challenges. Passionate about delivering high-quality systems with minimal operational overhead. Strong advocate for thorough documentation of design and build processes to enable productive technical discussions and long-term maintainability.

Special interest in systems engineering, hardware-software integration, and performance-critical infrastructure.

I enjoy working in diverse and collaborative teams where leadership is dynamic—shared based on expertise—and decisions are grounded in sound engineering principles.
