About

I build and scale systems end-to-end — from idea to production. My background spans backend, infrastructure, and product, and I’ve worked on building systems from scratch, re-architecting legacy platforms, and improving how teams deliver. I stay hands-on where it matters and focus on making complex systems actually work in practice. I’m a strong believer in “you build it, you run it” — owning systems end-to-end, including reliability, observability, and how they behave in production. I care about pragmatic engineering, simple architectures, and building systems that solve real problems and improve people’s lives.
