I'm a CS student who sees life as the ultimate team sport. I love building useful code, but I also thrive on the amateur football pitch. When I'm not with a team, I'm pushing my solo game as a triathlon athlete, exploring new trails as a hike geek, or holding down the rhythm as a bass player. My most important teams, however, are the ones that call me son, brother, grandson, friend, cousin, and boyfriend. My goal is to be an MVP for all of them.

I’m a Computer Science student at Constructor University with a technical foundation that bridges decades of computing, though my focus has recently shifted toward R&D in Bioinformatics and Genomic Data. While I’ve served as an IBM Z Student Ambassador—mentoring others on mainframes and visiting the IBM "mothership" in Böblingen. I’m now applying that appreciation for enterprise-grade reliability to the complex world of biological data. My core proficiency lies in Rust, Kotlin, Python, and C++, languages I use to navigate the heavy computational demands of genomics. My professional experience includes a summer internship building a critical enterprise tool with Flask, Python, C, and SQL to solve real client problems, proving I’m as comfortable in a research lab as I am in a dev environment. When I’m not analyzing sequences, I’m managing my "Distributed, Software-Defined Homelab Architecture," a multi-tiered private cloud featuring a Proxmox compute layer for isolated C/Rust projects and an OMV storage layer. With four Erasmus projects and four languages (English, German, Italian, Romanian) under my belt, I’m ready to collaborate across borders to solve the next big challenge in biotech.

Here's a look at the technologies I work with, from modern systems and languages to enterprise mainframes.

Right now, I'm juggling a few big things, both in my personal lab and in my career:

• Career & Research: Kicking off a 12-week research internship at the University of Calgary. I will be working at the intersection of computer science and biology, specifically focusing on bioinformatics and learning representations of genomics data.
• Software Exploration: Actively brainstorming my next spare-time side project. I am exploring a few different avenues right now, ranging from getting my hands dirty with game development in C++ to building a new systems-level project to deeply practice and understand Rust.
• Homelab Upgrades: Expanding my "Software-Defined Homelab." I am currently figuring out the best architecture to integrate a DVD player into my existing Proxmox compute and OMV storage ecosystem, experimenting with how to smoothly bridge physical media with my digital storage layer.
• Academics: Pushing through my Computer Science studies—I'm always working to connect the theory (like OS/kernel concepts) with my hands-on lab projects.
• Growth: Constant, non-stop personal and knowledge growth. If I'm not learning something new, I'm doing it wrong.
