About
I’m a Systems Engineer with a Master’s degree in Software Engineering and a background spanning software and hardware systems. My experience includes systems integration and test, automation, validation, troubleshooting complex technical issues, and developing dashboards and reporting tools to monitor quality and operational metrics.
I approach engineering with a focus on understanding problems at their root and developing practical, maintainable solutions. My experience across development, testing, troubleshooting, and system support has given me a broad perspective on how software and hardware interact in real-world environments. I’m particularly interested in building reliable systems, improving processes through automation, and solving complex technical problems.

Projects
This Website
A lightweight, self-hosted infrastructure built to host and deploy multiple applications from a single server. Designed around simplicity, isolation, security, and repeatable deployments.
R Labs
A space for experimenting with ideas and building things to see what’s possible. Using OpenClaw through Telegram, I turn ideas into working software hosted on the same VPS.
Cafeteria Ordering System — SRS
Requirements engineering case study: stakeholder analysis, functional decomposition, and traceability for a software system.
Student Information System — Agile Project
A simulated Agile team project — building a Student Information System across 3 two-week Scrum sprints with full sprint planning, backlog, and release delivery.
Naval Intelligence Platform
Full-stack fleet-monitoring system providing real-time situational awareness of vessels via Automated Identification System (AIS).
