Stack: Python, Flask, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, FastAPI, Docker, PostgreSQL

OSS experience: 20+ merged PRs across PEcAn (scientific computing) and hushh-labs (backend/testing). Comfortable with architecture, performance optimization, and testing infrastructure.

What I enjoy: Backend logic, API design, performance issues, and test coverage gaps.

What I'd like to work on in DevPath: Recommendation engine improvements, caching/performance, API robustness, and adding CI/CD. I've already opened issues #271 (cache bug) and #273 (broken test fixture) and have draft PRs ready for both.
