Code I can come back to
If I have to reopen a project six months later, I want to understand it without a guided tour.
I like projects where the machine is still visible.
I'm a student at 42. Most of my work is in C and C++: an HTTP server, a shell, an assembly renderer, and a small graphics animation engine. I use Next.js, React and Docker too, mostly when I need to ship something with a real UI.

Web when it helps
Working Principles
01 / PRINCIPLESFewer moving parts
I start with what the project already has. A new dependency needs to earn its place.
Measure, then optimize
I measure before optimizing. The interesting part is finding the real bottleneck, not guessing at it.

Close to the machine
I like understanding what is happening under the UI: processes, memory, sockets, rendering, latency, and the awkward details that make software real.
Graphics experiments
Small Assembly and C projects where drawing pixels, moving things around and handling events are the actual subject.
CURRENT FOCUS
I'm looking for a C/C++ role. I still like web work, especially when it gives a technical project a usable interface.

03 / TRACK RECORDSOLO
Assembly renderer
Mandelbroot
I wrote a Mandelbrot renderer in assembly as a solo project. It was a good excuse to handle the maths, memory and display loop without much hiding underneath.

C / Shell
Just Shell
A shell built by two people at 42. I worked on turning command lines into an AST, then executing them with behaviour close to a real shell.

Tech lead
ft_discord
The final common-core project at 42, built by a team of five. The README lists me as tech lead, responsible for architecture decisions, the NestJS User Service and frontend work shared with jramiro.

Want to work together?
I'm looking for a C/C++ role. I also take on small full-stack freelance projects when the scope is sane and the work fits.
