About Me

Full-stack developer, open-source maintainer, fantasy reader, and music enthusiast.

Hello, I am Prince Shammah.

I build web applications, desktop utilities, and automated cloud pipelines under the handle XyrusCode. I enjoy turning complex ideas into clean, functional tools that people can rely on daily.

My engineering work spans TypeScript, React, Next.js, and TanStack Start on the frontend, paired with Go, Rust, Node.js, and Laravel on the backend. When I am not shipping client features or building desktop apps with Tauri, I spend time exploring cloud architecture, system optimization, and open-source software.
