I build and operate high-throughput backend and data systems in Golang on AWS, with 4+ years of experience turning architecture into production. I’m especially drawn to ownership—designing solutions, implementing them, and staying accountable for monitoring, reliability, and outcomes.

At Frameplay, I serve as the primary backend and data engineer on a small core team. I developed and maintained frequency capping logic in a Golang microservices architecture, delivered a full reporting API end-to-end using AWS Glue jobs, crawlers, and Step Functions, and surfaced optimized Athena-backed aggregation through AWS AppSync GraphQL.

I also built scalable bundle blocking with multi-level filtering and Redis caching to enforce partner- and country-specific rules without harming throughput. I’m hands-on with delivery: I have merge-to-prod autonomy, monitor deployments with Datadog (including error patterns, Redis memory growth, and latency), and load-test with Locust before production.

Beyond core backend work, I integrate external demand partners via outbound bid requests, implement platform access governance using Cognito and RDS (including bulk deactivation of 200+ user accounts and API key revocation), and contribute frontend features in Vue/TypeScript. My earlier roles strengthened my foundation across Go/Python services, CI/CD with Buildkite and Jenkins, AWS Glue data ingestion, and data processing pipelines with PySpark and Databricks.
