Software engineer with a strong systems mindset and a bias toward building things that actually work in production. Over the years, I’ve designed and owned backend services, distributed systems, and integration-heavy platforms where reliability, observability, and scale matter more than theoretical elegance.

My core strength lies in taking messy, real-world problems—legacy systems, flaky dependencies, unclear requirements—and turning them into maintainable, well-architected solutions. I care deeply about correctness, performance, and long-term operability, and I’m comfortable working close to the metal when needed, whether that’s debugging production issues, optimizing data pipelines, or improving system resilience.

I enjoy roles where I can operate as a technical owner: shaping architecture, writing critical code, mentoring engineers, and collaborating closely with product and stakeholders. I value clear thinking, pragmatic decision-making, and engineering discipline over hype-driven trends.
