"Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program."
— Linus Torvalds
I’m a systems-oriented engineer with hands-on experience building software across Linux environments, backend services, and full-stack applications. At CodingMinds, I teach and develop project-based curricula spanning Flutter frontend development, API design, machine learning and deep learning workflows, and database-backed applications using tools like Firebase and Appwrite. I also coordinate with Apple App Store and Google Play review teams to support app review, compliance, and publication workflows. I’m early in my career, motivated to keep learning, and focused on building practical solutions that work in real environments.
- Build and teach full-stack projects using Flutter, API-driven backends, and modern database tooling
- Develop curriculum and project frameworks used by CodingMinds instructors
- Work with machine learning and deep learning concepts in applied projects
- Build Linux-focused systems projects, including Rust bindings work with libdnf5
- Operate and maintain microservices, including CheeseScribe
I enjoy solving technical problems and building software that people can actually use.
Open to: Early-career software engineering roles in backend, systems, or full-stack development.
