I build scalable backend systems and fast frontends. C#/.NET on the server, React/TypeScript in the browser. Currently finishing my CS degree and open to full-time roles or interesting contracts.

I'm a full-stack developer wrapping up my CS degree at UBT in Prishtinë. Most of what I know I learned by shipping real things — freelancing since 2022 has meant owning decisions from database schema to deployment pipeline.

My main stack is C#/.NET 8 for the backend and React + TypeScript + Next.js on the front. I care a lot about security, performance, and code that's readable six months later.

Outside of work I'm into how distributed systems fail, contributing to open source when I have something useful to add, and occasionally writing about things I've had to figure out the hard way.
