Building systems under real constraints

I build production web platforms and study applied computing in constrained environments where infrastructure, cost, access, and long-term maintenance drive technical decisions.

About

Software engineering, applied research, and real-world constraints

My work sits between implementation and evaluation. I care about what keeps systems valuable after launch: maintainability, reliability, cost, access, and clear ownership.

Built and maintained production platforms across legal, education, media, recruitment, and internal operations.

Worked with teams in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Europe, often under demanding operational constraints.

Researching applied computing where infrastructure, cost, data quality, and access shape technical decisions.
