Pipeline audit overhaul and resolution engine v2

Completed 7 pipeline audit fixes (atomic price writes, ≤3 bulk DB calls per refresh, quota tracking, thundering-herd guard, image fetch hardening, TTL centralization) and shipped PokeWallet resolution v2: restructured 4-stage fallback with set_code+number first, critical API corrections, card number normalization, and CardMarket pricing fallback.

My professional experience reflects engineering work across web development, systems optimization, and data-driven decision making. Each role has involved building and maintaining systems with attention to performance, structure, and measurable impact.

What I've learned is that good engineering requires understanding business context, collaborating with non-technical stakeholders, and maintaining systems real people depend on — whether optimizing campaigns, e-commerce platforms, or content systems.

Coursework

My coursework is curated to show strong computer science fundamentals and exposure across systems, algorithms, machine learning, databases, and UI. These courses have shaped how I think about engineering problems and informed my approach to system design.

What I value most is the balance between theory and practice. Courses like Systems Programming and Computer Design taught me how software interacts with hardware and the OS. Database Systems and Software Design helped me model real-world requirements and make architectural decisions. ML and data science coursework gave me the foundation to work with ambiguous, data-heavy problems.

Below, coursework is organized by theme. Each listing includes key skills and, where applicable, links to projects that demonstrate them.
