About

Backend engineer, 4+ years of experience, who enjoys solving hard infrastructure problems. I've worked at early-stage startups where I got to build things from scratch — event driven systems, backend infrastructure, production Kubernetes clusters, and services that needed to work reliably at scale. I gravitate towards distributed systems and enjoy digging into how things actually work under the hood. Also I like the work that sits at the intersection of performance and reliability. Most recently, I spent 3.5 years at Hora.ai (parent company of Verona & Athena) owning the backend platform— everything from the core algorithm to infrastructure and analytics.
