I build backend systems for geospatial data, climate risk analytics, distributed processing, and high-performance APIs.

I'm currently working at Intensel LTD as a Software Engineer, owning backend architecture, data infrastructure, distributed job pipelines, and production APIs for a climate risk platform used by enterprise customers across 10+ countries.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source projects, or thinking about ways technology can solve real-world problems.

Feel free to reach out and say hi on GitHub or LinkedIn . I'm always happy to connect, collaborate, and share knowledge.
