Software Engineer
Methuselah
I'm a backend-focused software engineer who designs and builds systems with clarity, context, and long-term thinking in mind.
THE
I work primarily on backend systems, APIs, authentication, data pipelines, and services that need to be reliable long after the excitement of launch fades.
My background is in Python and Java, but I’m comfortable moving across stacks when the problem requires it: Python for tooling, Flutter for tightly scoped applications, and JavaScript for frontend.
The tools matter less to me than the structure, trade-offs, and guarantees behind them. I don't chase scale for its own sake. I care about whether a system makes sense and holds up over time.
HOW I
- I optimize for clarity before cleverness
- I question requirements before implementing them
- I prefer boring, proven technology used well
- I design systems to survive real users, bad networks, and future maintainers
- I care about trade-offs, every decision costs something
WHAT I
"Problems that require careful thinking rather than brute force execution."
Backend systems & APIs
Designing services that are secure, maintainable, and explicit about their responsibilities.
Authentication & security
Identity, access control, and data handling where mistakes are expensive.
Developer & AI Tools
Tools that help people reason better or learn more effectively, not replace thinking.
Education Platforms
Systems that make structured learning possible from messy or unstructured inputs.
