I am a software engineer with a broad range of experience spanning embedded electronics and STM32 to cloud infrastructure and network security.
Currently, I work at Nextbase testing firmware and cloud integration for our flagship smart dash cam. I do this by building custom automation tools and developing in-house applications.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time tinkering with my homelab—a Proxmox server on a mini PC hosting a growing number of services, including this website and my continuous home automation projects.
When I finally step away from the screen, you'll find me taking the dog on day trips and playing the piano.
