About

I build resilient distributed systems, developer-first APIs, and high-scale platform infrastructure. With 7 years of engineering experience, I've progressed from Junior Engineer to Team Lead—architecting multi-vendor platforms that rapidly process hundreds of thousands of daily operations. I'm deeply passionate about decoupling complex business logic, mentoring engineering teams, and exploring AI-driven workflows to multiply developer productivity.
