I like the messy middle of software; talking to real users, shipping the feature, and watching it hold up in production.
For the past few years I've worked across the full stack on a multi-tenant logistics platform: frontend UI, backend APIs, and background job pipelines under real production constraints. I value simplicity and reliability over over-engineering, and I'm now sharpening the skills of a Forward Deployed Engineer, embedding with customers and turning their workflows into software that earns its keep.
