hello.

I'm Igna. I'm more comfortable focusing on my thoughts and ideas, which also means most of my time goes into building something to clear out my mind. When I'm not at the desk, I try to move myself as it also helps clears the noise.

expertise.

I'm a software engineer by trade, but I like to think of myself more as a software alchemist. I see what I'm doing as a kind of art — taking something complex and trying to refine it into something simple and elegant.

My strength lies in restructuring systems and streamlining logic, shaving away the noise until what remains just works. I found that the time I spent there is well worth the payoff: easier debugging, quicker iteration, and codebases I don't dread revisiting.

As a solo dev, I build mostly for the web, working with Svelte and TypeScript. I've also explored a wide spectrum of languages: Assembly, Bash, C, C++, Dart (Flutter), GDScript, Haskell, Java, Python, and a few others I've probably forgotten. I don't mind the language that much, once you understand the fundamentals, the rest will follow naturally.

Though I can go full-stack when needed, my focus is frontend as I care about the interfaces I spent my time on.

not everything needs to be loud. these platforms are tools, not identities. some stuck, some didn't—but they've all held fragments of me at some point.
