I build the systems behind the product.
Architecture, infrastructure, and execution.
Engineering Philosophy
Hard engineering problems are solvable with clarity, strong fundamentals, and disciplined execution. Every system I build starts from this conviction.
Systems Focus
Backend architecture, distributed systems, and infrastructure — building software that scales, recovers, and holds under real-world conditions.
Distributed Systems
Consensus, replication, partition tolerance — systems that hold under pressure.
Event-Driven Architecture
Async messaging, event sourcing, CQRS — decoupled systems that scale independently.
Infrastructure as Code
Container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, observability stacks built for clarity.
Reliability Engineering
SLOs, circuit breakers, graceful degradation — engineering for the failure case.
The Stack
Not a logo wall. A system map — every tool chosen for a specific role, every dependency justified.
backend
- Node.js— Primary runtime for API services and backend tooling
- FastAPI— Backend services and internal APIs with fast iteration
- GraphQL— Flexible data fetching for complex frontend requirements
database
- PostgreSQL— Primary transactional datastore for product and internal systems
deployment
- Docker— Consistent packaging across local development and deployment
devops
- Kubernetes— Container orchestration for resilient deployment and scaling
- Terraform— Versioned infrastructure provisioning and environment consistency
messaging
- Apache Kafka— Event-driven communication between loosely coupled system components
tools
- Prometheus— Metrics collection and alerting foundation
- Grafana— Operational dashboards and service visibility
Projects
Case studies in systems thinking — architecture decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes.
Writing
Technical essays, architecture notes, and lessons from building systems at scale.
Let's build something
Interested in working together? I'm always open to discussing systems challenges, infrastructure problems, and ambitious builds.
