About

I'm a software engineer with 5 years of experience, mostly in backend and full-stack work. Lately I've been going deep on AI and LLM systems learning what actually works when you move beyond the demos. I contributed across the stack backend services, architecture decisions, some DevOps, and a fair bit of figuring things out as we went. What I work with Node.js, distributed systems, and backend architecture are where I'm most comfortable. I'm actively building with LLMs RAG pipelines, vector search, agent workflows and sharing what I learn along the way. What I care about The gap between "works in a demo" and "works at 2am when something breaks." I care about reliability, latency, and making codebases that the next engineer won't hate. I think good engineers make their teams better, not just their PRs. Right now I'm doing 100 Days of Learning AI in Public one honest post a day about what I'm building, breaking, and figuring out with AI systems. Follow along if that sounds useful.
