About

Engineering with clarity and intent.

I’m a software engineer focused on building reliable backend systems and modern web applications. My work spans API design, microservices, event-driven systems, cloud infrastructure, and frontend development.

I enjoy solving problems around scalability, performance, reliability, and maintainability—especially where thoughtful system design can turn complicated product requirements into simple, dependable software.

What I build

From service boundaries to the final interface, I work across the layers that make a product dependable.

01Systems

Backend foundations that hold up.

APIs, microservices, and event-driven flows designed for clear contracts, predictable behavior, and long-term maintainability.

02Product

Full-stack product delivery.

Modern React and Angular experiences connected to robust Java and GraphQL services.

03Operations

Cloud systems built to run.

AWS, containers, CI/CD, observability, and careful production releases.

Experience

Building dependable software, end to end.

Backend depth, full-stack perspective, and a consistent focus on maintainable delivery.

Let’s connect

Let’s talk
engineering.

I enjoy thoughtful conversations about system design—the tradeoffs behind scalable backends, reliable distributed systems, and software that is easier to operate and evolve.

Good ideas are better shared.In Seattle? Let’s exchange them over chai.Elsewhere? Let’s connect virtually.
