About

I’m a backend-first engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable, high-throughput systems in Django/Python and distributed architectures. I specialize in architecting data-intensive platforms — from real-time telematics APIs to large-scale ETL pipelines — and delivering robust solutions that scale reliably. Over my career, I’ve built 100+ REST APIs, designed async-first pipelines handling 100M+ events/day, optimized database performance, and reduced latency and infrastructure cost through caching, read-replicas, and cloud-native deployments. I thrive at the intersection of architecture, data, and performance. I believe in clean, maintainable code; cloud-native deployments; and building systems that scale with minimal overhead. I enjoy mentoring engineers, driving core backend architecture, and delivering products that perform at scale without compromising reliability. I’m open to collaborating with cross-functional teams to build systems that power meaningful and impactful applications.
