Full-stack engineer.
TypeScript by day, C/C++ foundations from Codam (42 Network). Amsterdam → Vilnius, summer 2026.
About
I spent the last year at Skylark, an Amsterdam MVP studio, shipping production web apps end-to-end for clients. The work taught me to move fast, cut scope honestly, and deliver something that runs in the real world.
Alongside that I completed the core curriculum at Codam Coding College (42 Network) - C and C++ systems programming, capped off with webserv, an HTTP/1.1 server built from scratch in C++ with a three-person team. My daily stack is TypeScript - Next.js, React, Node - but those years underneath the abstractions are why I trust myself with what the frameworks are hiding.
I like tools that are small, sharp, and genuinely useful. Most of what I build is for myself first.
Currently
- Job huntingMoving back to Vilnius at the end of July after several years in Amsterdam. Open to full-stack and frontend roles in Vilnius, or remote across the EU.1
