Sparklee.dev — Backend Developer & DevOps

Hi, I'm Sparklee

Backend Developer

I build production-ready backend systems, APIs, infrastructure, developer tools, and automation. I'm especially interested in building reliable systems from the ground up and turning complex ideas into practical software.

About Me

Backend Developer & Builder

I'm a self-taught backend developer focused on building production-ready services, REST APIs, infrastructure, and developer tools. I enjoy working close to the systems layer — designing APIs, databases, automation, deployments, and the infrastructure that keeps applications running. Outside of backend engineering, I contribute to open source, experiment with AI and local LLMs, and occasionally build games and creative tools.
