About Me

I’m a Computer Science student at Eindhoven University of Technology interested in software engineering and backend development. I learn by building practical projects and applying development practices such as version control, and CI/CD pipelines. I’m particularly interested in how backend services behave in practice and how to design software that is reliable, and simple to operate.
