A bit about me

I'm a data engineer with 10 years of experience, currently on a career break. Since January 2025, I've been stepping back from the professional world to focus on my mental health — and I'm choosing to be open about that because I believe there's no shame in it.

During this time, I haven't stopped building. I spend parts of my day creating small tools and apps for my family — things that make our daily life a little easier. Sure, there are apps out there that already do these things. But building them myself keeps me connected to the craft I love, helps me learn something new, and gives me a sense of purpose on the harder days.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new places, diving into a good book, or experimenting with fashion. This site is part of that same spirit: a place to document where I've been, where I am, and where I'm headed — whenever I'm ready.

Small tools, real purpose

These aren't meant to replace what's already out there. They're my way of staying sharp, learning new things, and making something useful for the people closest to me.
