Distributed Systems
I build high-performance backend services and microservice systems with a strong focus on low latency, reliability, and clean service boundaries.

WHAT I DO
Backend systems, infrastructure, and engineering.
Backend + Infrastructure
I work across APIs, CI/CD, observability, cloud deployments, and Kubernetes workflows to ship systems that are production-ready and maintainable.
Tech Stack
I like working close to the core of the system, building backend services, infrastructure, developer tooling, and product experiences that stay fast, reliable, and easy to reason about.
EXPERIENCE
