💼 About Me

I’m a software engineer focused on Java backend development, building scalable, high-performance distributed systems. I enjoy diving deep into system architecture, concurrency models, and the mathematical foundations that power efficient algorithms.

Beyond work, I love:

• 🎮 Playing League of Legends (mid/main support, always climbing 📈)
• 📺 Watching live streams (tech talks, gaming, or just chill vibes)
• 🧮 Exploring low-level math: number theory, linear algebra, algorithmic complexity
• 🔌 Prototyping with Arduino and embedded systems — because software meets hardware is magic ✨

📚 Currently Learning / Exploring

• How consensus algorithms (Raft, Paxos) really work under failure scenarios
• Applying graph theory to real-world backend problems (e.g., dependency resolution, social features)
• Bridging math and code: turning proofs into performant implementations
• Building a smart plant monitor with Arduino + MQTT + React dashboard 🌱

🎯 Open to

• 💡 Collaborating on open-source backend tools or educational projects
• 🤝 Discussing system design, algorithm optimization, or “why is this O(n log n)?”
• 🎮 Finding duo queue partners (NA/EUW, ARAM or ranked flex welcome!)
