What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend systems role where I can build fault-isolated, security-sensitive distributed services—partnering on reliability, observability, and real-time event processing—while contributing to critical infrastructure and learning fast.

I’m a systems-focused backend engineer building distributed and security-sensitive infrastructure with a strong emphasis on reliability and observability. In my current CRED internship, I designed a fault-isolated event ingestion pipeline (Go gateway, SQS, Java workers) that safely processes 10K+ external events/day, isolating untrusted traffic from core payment systems to prevent cascading failures under burst and adversarial conditions.

I also strengthened the ingestion layer with request validation and authentication checks, and I optimized a gRPC logging pipeline using Loki—improving observability for anomaly detection while reducing production logging costs by 15%. In the Rust Bitcoin ecosystem, I’ve contributed 35+ PRs and reviewed 45+ PRs at Coinswap, and I actively contribute open-source work (Rust-Bitcoin, Bitcoin Dev Kit, Fedimint) to improve correctness, storage reliability, and CLI/tooling stability.
