About Me

I'm a passionate Software Developer with 4 years of professional experience in C++ development, specializing in building distributed real-time systems and backend simulation tools for the automotive industry. My work at Continental Automotive involved developing critical components for ADAS radar sensor simulation, implementing multi-threaded architectures, and creating robust automated testing pipelines.

Beyond my professional work, I have a strong passion for building complete applications from scratch. I've developed custom game engines with OpenGL, created desktop productivity tools, and built full-featured games with complex systems including AI, crafting mechanics, and procedural generation. These projects demonstrate my ability to architect, design, and implement complete software solutions independently.

Currently seeking: Backend, simulation, systems programming, or graphics programming roles. Available immediately for full-time positions.
