I build backend-first systems that are reliable under load, maintainable over time, and practical in production. My work spans sports data, VOIP/telecom, e-commerce, and internal tooling, with emphasis on architecture clarity, observability, and release quality.
8+ years of engineering experience across three companies, delivering production systems in multi-region environments. Core strength: designing distributed systems that balance delivery speed with long-term maintainability and operational reliability.
