My Technical Expertise

I'm a passionate and technically skilled individual with a strong foundation in multiple areas of computer science, programming, and system administration. I enjoy diving deep into complex systems, optimizing workflows, and solving real-world problems with code.

Programming & Software Development

I have hands-on experience with several programming languages, each serving a distinct purpose in my projects:

• C is a language I’ve dedicated serious time to — I appreciate its closeness to hardware and use it to better understand memory management, systems-level programming, and performance-critical applications.

• Python is my go-to for scripting, automation, computer vision (OpenCV), and backend development. I've built Flask-based web applications, bots, and automation tools, including GUI interaction with mouse control and template matching.

• JavaScript plays a role in my full-stack projects, particularly when working with WebSockets or front-end visualizations like Chart.js.

• HTML/CSS I use for building clean and responsive interfaces for my web applications.

• SQL (SQLite) is something I’ve used in full-stack development, especially for tracking user data and transactions in my CS50 Finance project.

• YAML is part of my daily workflow when working with Docker and Kubernetes for infrastructure as code and container orchestration.

• Bash scripting I use extensively in Linux environments for automation, diagnostics, and system setup.

Linux & System Administration

I’m very comfortable working in Linux environments — especially Kali Linux and Ubuntu. I use the terminal for everything from basic system updates to custom automation scripts. I've also worked with:

• Docker for containerizing apps

• Kubernetes (currently learning it deeply) for orchestrating and managing containers in production-like environments.

Web Development & Automation

• I’ve built web applications using Flask, implementing full user authentication, live updates, and financial tracking logic.

• I’ve automated GUI interactions on Windows and Linux using OpenCV, template matching, and precise screen analysis, making my tools robust and cross-platform.

• I also created bots for games (like Agar.io clones and Rise of Kingdoms), using WebSocket protocols, custom buffer parsing, and low-latency control loops.
