Aspiring Architect, Builder's Mindset

Great General Tou

An aspiring architect with a builder's mindset, driven to understand technology at every level—from low-level systems to high-level cloud services. My objective is to use this deep, integrated knowledge to design innovative and elegant solutions to complex problems. I aim to create architectures where performance, scalability, and resilience are not afterthoughts, but the foundational principles of the master plan.

"There are two things... First the death of my master has made you stronger. Second, I have always been strong."

— Tou to Moubou
