Craft & Code
Somewhere between a junior and someone who knows what they're doing..
I'm a backend developer who genuinely struggles to enjoy frontend work — CSS is not my love language. What I do care about is writing code that people can actually read: clear, honest, and purposeful.
I'm still finding my footing — learning the craft of backend engineering, and getting curious about software design and architecture. How systems are shaped, and why some decisions age better than others.
This blog is where I think out loud. Casual, occasionally technical, and posted whenever something finally clicks. No schedule — just thoughts worth putting into words.
