Things I've Built
A mix of full-stack web platforms, embedded systems projects, and enterprise tools — built in production and used by real people.
RustLands
Full-featured game server platform with OAuth login via Discord & Steam, built-in ticket system for player and payment disputes, live server status tracking, and hardened session security. Deployed with Docker on a Linux VPS behind Nginx & Cloudflare.
Discord Ticketing System
Custom ticketing bot for Discord built with Discord.js, featuring real-time support management, role-based access control, automated ticket categorisation, and seamless user interaction — used across multiple gaming communities.
Autonomous Maze Robot
Autonomous maze-solving robot built at Saxion using a Raspberry Pi Pico, ultrasonic and IR sensors, implementing both Trémaux's algorithm and Dijkstra's shortest-path algorithm in C/C++ for real-time navigation.
What I Work With
A solid foundation across the full stack — from low-level embedded C/C++ and microcontrollers to cloud-deployed Node.js APIs and enterprise Power Platform solutions. I pick the right tool for the job rather than forcing a favourite everywhere.

Driven by sustainability & innovation
I'm an Applied Computer Science student at Saxion University, currently also working as a Power Platform Developer & Substitute at Munich International School — the school where I also completed my IB Diploma with Higher Levels in Computer Science, German B, and Geography.
My Extended Essay analysed London's ULEZ zone and its effectiveness at reducing CO₂ emissions — a topic that reflects my genuine interest in technology that has a positive environmental impact. I bring that same curiosity to every project I work on.
