Message

At We Work Remotely, I design and build distributed systems with Elixir and Phoenix, including real-time services that support thousands of concurrent users. I optimized PostgreSQL queries and indexing, reducing response time by 40%.

Previously, I built backend services and APIs at Heroku and developed real-time products including Cerberus, a ranking system built with Elixir, Phoenix, and PostgreSQL. My work also includes payment workflows at Mesh/vira and a GIS platform at Viewpro.
