I work as a Software Engineer with extensive experience in:
- System architecture and scalable SaaS applications
- Full-stack development (Go, Python, TypeScript, Node.js)
- Technical leadership and mentoring other developers
- Team collaboration and agile development practices
- DevOps and cloud native applications
I’m also actively self-studying Machine Learning and AI, exploring technologies like TensorFlow, deep learning, and computer vision through personal projects and coursework.
What I Write About
My blog covers four main areas that reflect my professional journey and interests:
🏗️ Architecture & System Design
I share insights on building scalable software systems, from notification services to permissions management for SaaS applications. My posts cover architectural patterns, best practices, and lessons learned from designing production systems.
💻 Development & Tutorials
I write practical tutorials and guides on modern development practices, including:
- Machine Learning with TensorFlow, deep learning, and computer vision
- Python development for AI/ML applications

Why I Blog
Writing helps me think more clearly and share knowledge with others. I believe that what’s common knowledge to me might be valuable to someone else, and vice versa. Through my blog, I aim to:
- Document my learning journey and share insights with the community
- Help other engineers navigate similar challenges I’ve faced
- Contribute to the broader tech community with practical, actionable content
- Reflect on my experiences and distill lessons learned
My Approach
I focus on practical, actionable content based on real-world experience. Whether it’s a technical tutorial, leadership insight, or personal reflection, I aim to provide value that readers can immediately apply to their own work and growth.
