I build things like Assay and a server made out of an old phone, and I care most about the layer nobody puts on a landing page: the networks, the boxes, the thing underneath the thing.

An engineer who'd rather own the whole stack than rent it. Most of the work is backend: APIs, auth flows, retrieval pipelines, the subsystems nobody notices until they stop. The rest is the layer those run on, because I'd rather understand the machine than treat it as somebody else's problem. I like systems that fail in ways you can explain, documentation written by the person who actually broke it, and production servers that live on a shelf in my room.
