Software Engineer · Open Source Contributor · AI & Developer Infrastructure

I'm a Computer Science & IT graduate from SOA University interested in building software at the intersection of AI, developer tooling, backend systems, and open source.

Over the past few months, I've been focused heavily on open source — working across unfamiliar production codebases, investigating real-world bugs, tracing execution paths, designing fixes, writing regression tests, and shipping changes through pull requests.

I enjoy the part of engineering that happens before the code is written: understanding how a system works, finding where it breaks, and figuring out the smallest reliable change that fixes it.

• 🔭 Contributing to open-source developer tools and AI infrastructure
• 🧠 Exploring AI Engineering, Agentic Systems, Code Intelligence & System Design
• 🛠️ Working across Python, Go, TypeScript, and JavaScript
• 🌱 Learning how large production systems are designed, tested, and maintained
• ⚡ Building AI-powered and full-stack projects
• 🤝 Looking for opportunities to work with open-source-first engineering teams

I've been contributing to projects across AI tooling, code intelligence, developer infrastructure, and full-stack applications.

• Graphify — Code intelligence and graph-based developer tooling
• Agent Orchestrator — Go-based agent infrastructure and developer tooling
• Continue — AI-powered developer tooling
• PDA — Open-source full-stack application

My approach to open source:

Understand
    ↓
Reproduce
    ↓
Trace
    ↓
Identify Root Cause
    ↓
Design the Fix
    ↓
Implement
    ↓
Test
    ↓
Ship

I'm particularly interested in problems where architecture, system behavior, debugging, and correctness matter as much as implementation.

I'm currently exploring several ideas around AI-powered developer tooling.

A developer-focused project exploring AI-assisted debugging, tracing, and understanding of software systems.

I'm interested in building tools that don't just generate code, but help developers understand, debug, test, and reason about existing codebases.

One of the biggest things I've learned from contributing to open source is that writing code is only one part of engineering.

A large part of the work is:

Reading code you didn't write. Understanding decisions you didn't make. Reproducing bugs you didn't create. And fixing problems without breaking everything around them.

That's the kind of engineering I want to keep getting better at.

Outside of software, I enjoy music, singing, painting, and calligraphy. 🎵

Building in public. Learning from production code. Shipping one contribution at a time.

Open to opportunities.
