• I treat validation and security as architectural concerns
• I write code thinking about future maintainers
• I automate repetitive tasks to ensure consistency and speed.

What I Care About

• Clean architecture
• Readable code
• Well-justified technical decisions
• Systems that reflect real-world scenarios
• Open Source culture and collaboration
• Data consistency and performance
