The Story Behind the Code

My journey in tech began at just 14 years old. It all started with a passion for bringing people together—organizing meetups for fellow teens who shared my love for Formula 1. To make it easier for everyone to connect, I built a simple web page with updates about upcoming events and recaps of our gatherings.

That small project sparked my curiosity about online communication. I dove into running an online forum using PHPBB, eventually customizing it to create a unique space for our growing community. The forum exploded in popularity—reaching over 4,000 posts per day. Suddenly, I found myself learning how to manage servers just to keep up with the demand.

Fortunately, my parents supported my curiosity, and soon I was able to experiment with a full datacenter rack setup at home. Not only did I run a thriving community, but I also started my own web hosting company by renting out the extra server space I had built.

By the time I entered university, I already knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. For me, it was just a matter of learning more and getting things done.

The Human Behind the Terminal

Beyond the code and cloud architectures, I'm someone who believes technology should serve humanity, not the other way around. Every system I design, every line of code I write, carries the intention to make complex problems simple.

When I'm not deep in a Kubernetes cluster or training AI models, you'll find me exploring the intersection of technology and philosophy, always asking: "How can we build better systems that genuinely improve people's lives?"
