I'm a Software Engineer and CS student. I don't just write code — I make deliberate architectural trade-offs and defend them. Anyone can implement a feature; fewer can explain why they chose denormalized counters over joins, why an AI should refuse rather than hallucinate, or why a video platform should never let its application server touch a video file.

I've built systems around these principles: a zero-storage video platform, a multi-tenant B2B platform with strict workspace isolation and RBAC, and an AI assistant designed around hallucination resistance at the architectural level. I document the reasoning, too — architecture decisions and trade-off tables are where engineering thinking becomes explicit.

Competitive programming taught me to reduce problems to their essential structure before writing code. System design is that same instinct applied to real users, real scale, and real failure.

Open source is where I stress-test my thinking. In my own projects, I set the rules; elsewhere, I must uncover root causes, justify solutions, and earn maintainers' trust. A merged PR is more than a contribution — it's external validation that the reasoning survived scrutiny.

That's what I care about: designing solutions that hold up under pressure, not merely code that passes locally.
