I'm Scarlett ๐งโ๐ป, a lifelong programmer and tech enthusiast with 12+ years of industry experience spanning Hosting | SaaS | Platform Integration projects. I specialize in complex backend assignments and thrive in high-performance computing, automation, and infrastructure. Frontend development is not my thingโI prefer to focus on deep backend optimizations, server architecture, and scalable solutions. I strongly prefer open-source technologies and avoid proprietary Microsoft/Google/Closed-Source solutions whenever possible.
For me, my philosophy would be: Right tool for the job, should be fast, should be maintainable, should be testable.
