About Me
I've been building scalable, secure, and maintainable systems for over 15 years. I focus on backend engineering and bring a comprehensive full-stack skill set, taking ownership of complex projects to deliver reliable, efficient solutions, whether working independently or alongside others.
I design and build backend infrastructure that holds up under real-world pressure. My focus is on long-term maintainability, performance, and security. Whether it's shaping APIs, scaling distributed systems, or improving architecture, I care about building things that last.
I love building strong foundations. Whether it's a greenfield project or untangling a legacy system, I find it rewarding to make complex systems clean, fast, and dependable. Performance issues, slow paths, or architectural gaps are not just obstacles. They're opportunities to breathe new life into a product. Whether it's new features or core system improvements, I bring the same focus: building clean, resilient software designed to stand up to real-world demands.
