About

Senior engineer. Systems mindset.

I build the kind of backend systems that power products trusted by millions — distributed, resilient, and quietly efficient. My work spans large-scale microservices, event-driven pipelines, and cloud-native platforms engineered for availability and cost at scale.

I care deeply about secure production code, thoughtful system design and operational stability — the unglamorous work that keeps platforms healthy at 3 AM. I also mentor engineers, lead design reviews and raise the bar for how we ship.
