About
Strong backend foundations with a product mindset.
I enjoy solving the kinds of problems users rarely see directly: data pipelines, service boundaries, application performance, and the reliability work that makes software feel effortless.
My favorite projects sit at the intersection of engineering depth and real-world usefulness, where good architecture creates speed for both customers and the teams building for them.
What I bring
- Backend architecture and API design
- Cloud infrastructure and deployment workflows
- Performance tuning and reliability thinking
- Pragmatic collaboration across product and engineering
