About Me

Hey, I'm Mau 👋

I'm a Systems Engineering student and a full-stack developer who prefers getting my hands dirty over just reading theory. For me, tech isn't just a career track—it's a massive sandbox. Whether I'm developing a SaaS platform from scratch or reviving a vintage ThinkPad to use as a local server, I just love making things work.

My sweet spot is at the intersection of solid software architecture and practical problem-solving. I build mostly with React, Next.js, Python, SQL, and AWS, but my curiosity doesn't stop at the browser. I'm just as comfortable diving into Linux environments or hacking together IoT projects with microcontrollers. Clean code is important, but building tools that actually solve real problems is the ultimate goal.

When I'm not pushing commits, you can probably find me pointing my telescope at the stars, getting lost in a good hard sci-fi novel, or rolling dice in a D&D campaign. Curiosity is my main engine, both on and off the keyboard.
