What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on data-intensive, low-latency infrastructure and performance-critical system design, with collaborative teams and opportunities to modernize and optimize production systems.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5 years of experience designing and building high-performance, data-intensive, and low-latency systems. My work centers on concurrency, multi-threaded architecture, and improving the speed, reliability, and scalability of complex software.

Across my roles and projects, I’ve focused on extracting real, measurable performance gains—cutting startup times, reducing latency across critical internal tools, stabilizing legacy systems, and delivering architecture that scales predictably under load. I’m comfortable deep in the internals of a system: profiling bottlenecks, rewriting components for efficiency, and designing data models and pipelines that behave consistently in production.

Beyond my professional experience, I build open-source and personal projects that reflect my interests in deterministic system design, concurrency, and structured analytics. Recent work includes a lock-free multi-producer/multi-consumer queue in Zig and an autonomous market research pipeline that pairs windowed metrics with rule-based and LLM-driven reasoning.

I’m most motivated by roles where correctness, speed, and reproducibility matter—places where engineering discipline and clean architectural decisions make a meaningful difference. I enjoy working with teams that value clarity, iteration, and shared ownership of the codebase.

My broader interests include data-intensive systems, low-latency infrastructure, and exploring new approaches to concurrent and deterministic software design.
