# 01 — about
I'm a Backend Software Engineer with nearly six years of experience across software development and technical education, with recent years focused on backend systems, APIs, automation, and data-driven applications.
My core stack is Python and Django, with hands-on experience in FastAPI, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Linux, Docker, and cloud environments. I've also built full-stack applications with React and TypeScript and bring a broader technical foundation in C/C++ and Java.
I'm particularly interested in backend, systems, and platform engineering, especially reliability, concurrency, distributed processing, performance, integrations, and maintainable software design.
I enjoy understanding how systems behave behind the scenes, making deliberate technical trade-offs, and turning operational problems into dependable software. Recent projects include a distributed task queue, a concurrency-safe inventory service, and a multi-household budgeting platform.
I'm currently based in the Netherlands and authorized to work here without a TWV. I'm open to software engineering opportunities where I can contribute, continue learning, and work on technically meaningful products.
Outside of software, I'm an avid reader across many fields, from technical books to fiction and everything in between.

Prevents overselling when concurrent checkout requests compete for limited stock, with separate implementations of optimistic versioning and PostgreSQL SELECT FOR UPDATE locking. Integration tests prove that 50 buyers competing for 10 units produce exactly 10 orders and zero overselling.
