About
How I approach building software
Software Engineering graduate specializing in backend development with Python, Django, and FastAPI, and full-stack web applications with Django REST Framework and React.js.
My background is in Python and Django: designing the data model, wiring authentication and authorization, and building the REST API a frontend actually consumes. Most of the projects on this site follow that same shape - a Django REST Framework backend paired with a React frontend.
- 01
The data model comes first
- 02
Authentication and authorization are not an afterthought
- 03
A system should be explainable

Approach
How a project moves from idea to a running system
The same sequence for every engagement, small or large.
- 01
Discovery
Understand the problem, the users, and what the system actually needs to do.
- 02
Scope
Turn that understanding into a concrete, buildable plan.
- 03
Architecture
Design the data model, API surface, and authentication before any feature code.
- 04
Build
Implement the system against that architecture, iteratively.
- 05
Test
Verify behavior against real cases, not just the happy path.
- 06
Launch
Deploy to a real, running environment.
- 07
Handover
Hand over a system you own outright, with nothing left implicit.

Common questions
What do you actually build?
REST APIs and full-stack web applications, most often with Django REST Framework on the backend and React on the frontend. See the work page for real, running examples.
Do you work with an existing codebase, or only greenfield builds?
Both. Discovery starts the same way either time: understanding the data model, the users, and what the system needs to do before any code changes.
Who owns the code once the project is done?
You do. There's no vendor lock-in built into how these systems are structured.
