Full stack developer building product-grade web platforms, internal tooling, and desktop-like interfaces with strong usability and clean visual systems.

I work across frontend architecture, backend logic, and developer experience, with a focus on reliability, speed, and cohesive interaction design.

About This OS

This portfolio runs as a desktop-style operating environment with draggable windows, persistent workspace state, and integrated apps for browsing, editing, and viewing content.

• Window management: move, resize, minimize, maximize, and z-order focus.
• Integrated apps: File Explorer, Terminal, Code Editor, Notes, Calendar, and Viewer.
• Shared filesystem model so files stay in sync across Explorer, Terminal, Editor, Notes, and Viewer.
• Multi-terminal support with per-window sessions and persistent history across refresh.

Supported Files + Commands

• Code files: ts, tsx, js, jsx, json, css, html, and txt.
• Notes and docs: md and markdown files with rendered preview in Viewer.
• Terminal commands: pwd, ls, cd, cat, open, run, rename, mkdir, touch, rm, clear, and help.
• Terminal aliases: ll, cls, and ..
• Tab autocomplete for commands and filesystem paths.
• Workspace folders: /workspace plus nested folders (including /workspace/code and /workspace/notes).
