About

What I do

Full‑stack engineer focused on Java/Spring backends, secure auth, and tidy UIs. I like strong typing, friendly DX, and observability you actually read.

Java 21 Spring Boot Docker PostgreSQL MongoDB TypeScript

Currently

Actively expanding Stella — my AI VTuber that speaks, moves, and remembers — to deepen contextual memory and multi‑platform presence (Discord ↔ Twitch). Also tightening backend observability and experimenting with OpenAI streaming for lower‑latency dialogue.

Projects
01

Stella — AI VTuber & Conversational Navigator

AI VTuber that reacts, speaks, and remembers. Java handles memory + identity linking, while Python connects motion and TTS. Built to test real‑time pipelines and low‑latency interaction.
