About

With over 6+ years of experience turning caffeine into scalable backend systems, I specialize in Golang, Kafka, MongoDB, Java, and Spring Framework and NewRelic for observability (because what’s a good backend without knowing what’s broken? :P). I’ve spent countless hours arguing with APIs, wrestling with Kafka topics, and teaching databases to behave. If you need someone who loves a good challenge, thrives in chaos, and occasionally cracks terrible programming jokes and knows that “just one more deploy” never goes as planned, you have reached out to a correct guy. Let’s connect, make some backend magic happen, turn bugs into features — one commit at a time and maybe break a few things as well along the way because that's how we learn (Fail Fast, Fail Better)! :D
