I build high-scale backend, media, and GenAI platforms with Python and Go.

At Pocket FM, I build distributed GenAI audio and media platforms serving large-scale production workloads. I architected an audio platform generating 200K+ episodes monthly across 10+ languages and supporting 40M+ listener-hours each month.

I've led an end-to-end Celery-to-Temporal migration across three teams, reducing orchestration failures by approximately 85% and bringing recovery down from hours to minutes. I also built provider-agnostic LLM and TTS routing across Gemini, Claude, GPT, and ElevenLabs, cutting per-episode cost by approximately 90% while maintaining 92%+ QC acceptance.

Previously, I built Go image transformation services handling 20M+ daily requests, media-processing pipelines for 100K+ daily transcoding jobs, and HLS/DASH streaming systems for a 100K+ hour catalog. I work across Python, Go, Kafka, Temporal, Kubernetes, AWS, MySQL, and FFmpeg to make production systems reliable, scalable, and observable.
