Overview

Backend engineer with 20+ years of experience building high-performance microservices, developer tools, and automation platforms. Currently focused on Go and Python, with extensive experience containerizing, deploying, scaling, and monitoring on Kubernetes.

Hands-on with LLM APIs and agentic AI coding tools. I enjoy solving problems cleanly—whether that's a 10K QPS service or a CLI that saves the team hours each week.
