Building systems under real constraints

I build production web platforms and study applied computing in constrained environments, with work shaped by infrastructure, cost, access, and long-term maintenance.

About

Software engineering, applied research, and practical constraints

My work sits between implementation and evaluation. I care about the parts that make systems useful after launch: maintainability, reliability, cost, access, and clear ownership.

Built and maintained production platforms for legal, education, media, job placement, and internal operations.

Worked with teams across the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Europe, often on systems with strict operational limits.

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