What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and own production distributed systems, data platforms, and developer-facing infrastructure, especially where reliability, scale, observability, and customer-controlled deployments matter.

I've built distributed systems and developer-facing platforms at Actioneer, Pronto, and Gameskraft. At Actioneer, I built a ClickHouse customer data platform sustaining 3M+ inserts per minute, migrated clients from Amplitude with zero data loss, and shipped self-managed deployments into regulated AWS and OCI environments.

I've also built real-time leaderboard and matchmaking systems, low-code API orchestration, observability platforms, and production delivery infrastructure. My work spans API and schema design, high-throughput data systems, Kafka and Redis-based services, Kubernetes deployments, incident response, and mentoring engineers debugging distributed systems.
