Full-Stack Developer | Maker | Author
I am a developer building web platforms for digital media security and physical prototyping. I specialize in bridging the gap between hardware constraints, system-level audio tools, and modern web frameworks.
I am currently architecting two distinct web platforms:
-
Media Security & Credentials
- A platform for verifying digital audio credentials.
- Tech: Integrating C++ watermarking libraries (audiowmark) and Deep Learning models (AudioSeal) into a Django/Docker environment.
-
Social Discovery Platform
- A privacy-first matchmaking application focused on non-traditional relationship dynamics.
- Tech: Building custom matching algorithms and real-time interaction features using Django Channels.
- Status: In active development (Stealth Mode).
I believe that engineering extends beyond code.
- Electronics: I design and prototype guitar effects and 3D-printed enclosures via my brand, Sonciel.
- Fiction: I am the author of the Elements of Risk and The Horn Mansion.
