I build software across the stack — frontend interfaces, backend services, and the producer/consumer plumbing in between. I spend most of my days extending ERP systems and the apps that sit on top of them, and most of my evenings on small tools that try to be quiet and quick.

# ~/.config/benka.yml
stack:
  languages: [typescript, go, python, .net, vba, c++]
  frontend:  [react, vite, swr, css]
  backend:   [node, postgres, redis, kafka]
  erp:       [custom integrations]
  systems:   [powershell, bash]
  infra:     [docker, kubernetes, terraform, github-actions]

prefers:    small tools, slow rollouts, obvious code
avoids:     microservices for the sake of it
