I’m a backend software engineer who enjoys the quieter, high-stakes parts of building reliable systems—making them faster, safer, and dependable for the people who rely on them.

In my recent role (1.8 years), I’ve focused on measurable performance and reliability improvements: cutting API latency by 65% with Redis caching and MySQL tuning, and redesigning async pipelines to reduce production incidents by 40%.

I’ve also shipped security- and scale-focused features, including SAML 2.0 SSO for 10,000+ enterprise users, plus payment integrations with idempotent webhook retry logic to prevent duplicate charges.

Outside of work, I build to deepen my understanding—recently a multi-tenant SaaS billing engine—because I like owning the architecture details that make backend systems hold up in real-world conditions.
