Java, SQL, Spring ecosystem. Generalist backend focus with a specialization in data access layer design. Some C#, Python, Go for cross-language tooling.

Exploring Rust and Go implementations of the SQL-First paradigm. Cross-language consistency is harder than it looks.

SimpleDAO — a SQL-first persistence layer for Java that stays within Spring JDBC. Trying to prove that persistence code can be transparent, minimal, and framework-agnostic.

Open to collaborations on lightweight persistence tools, Spring ecosystem extensions, or database abstraction discussions. Also happy to review PRs or chat about SQL optimization.
