Backend developer who enjoys building practical, reliable software with Python, Linux, and modern backend technologies, with a particular interest in automation, infrastructure, and systems that solve real-world problems.

I'm currently working on two complementary projects.

A FastAPI-based workforce management application for daycare employees.

Current focus:

• authentication and role-based access
• API design and testing
• Docker deployment
• frontend integration

The first public release is planned after core functionality, testing, and deployment are complete.

A lightweight shell-based wallpaper scheduler for GNOME using anacron, systemd, and desktop integration to continue rotating wallpapers reliably even when the computer isn't powered on every day.

• Python
• Bash

• FastAPI
• Django
• Django REST Framework

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Nginx
• Linux
• Git
• GitHub Actions

• PostgreSQL
• SQLite

• JavaScript
• HTML
• CSS
• npm

Some representative projects:

• Piko — Workforce management backend built with FastAPI.
• Daily Wallpaper Rotator — Reliable GNOME wallpaper scheduler using Bash, anacron, and systemd.
• Infrastructure & networking — Practical experiments with Linux, Docker, Nginx, and networking.

Older repositories are gradually being refreshed or archived as the portfolio evolves.

• software architecture
• backend API design
• authentication & security
• automated testing
• deployment & CI/CD
• Linux automation

Before transitioning into software engineering, I worked in international environments requiring clear communication, precision, and responsibility, and later ran a small translation business.

Those experiences continue to shape the way I design software: practical, reliable, and maintainable.

I enjoy building software that is:

• useful & understandable
• maintainable
• well-tested

I believe software engineering is not only about writing code, but about designing systems that remain reliable and understandable as they evolve.

• English (professional)
• Spanish (good)
• Finnish (currently improving)

I'm always interested in discussing backend development, Linux, infrastructure, and practical software engineering.
