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:

1. 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.

2. 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).

Languages & Frameworks

DevOps & Systems

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.
