Current Project

I’m currently working on a World War II–era base and war simulation project focused on logistics, production, and large-scale strategy. The goal is to simulate how bases operate, supply chains function, and strategic decisions ripple through military operations. As an avid history buff and strategy game enthusiast, this project allows me to combine my passion for history with my software development skills.

About Me

I’m a full-stack software engineer with hands-on experience across backend services, APIs, databases, and frontend applications. I primarily work with Java and C#, building scalable systems with Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Redis, alongside modern frontend work using Vue.

Outside of professional work, I focus on personal projects that lean into complex problem-solving, including simulation engines and sports analytics. These projects let me dive deep into system design, performance, and building software that’s that focuses on efficiency and scalability.
