13 years of backend systems built to scale and teams built to ship. I work at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and technical leadership — finding the pragmatic path that holds up in production.

01 / About
Systems.
Architecture.
Delivery.
Available for backend engineering, solution architecture, and technical leadership engagements. I work with product and engineering teams to design distributed systems, define architecture, and find the pragmatic path — the solution that actually ships and holds up in production.
My core stack centers on Node.js, TypeScript, and Golang for building microservices and APIs, with PostgreSQL and MongoDB on the data layer. I've worked across industries — social learning, healthcare, e-commerce, IoT, law enforcement, and enterprise sales tools.
Beyond shipping code, I care deeply about technical clarity — architecture diagrams, onboarding documentation, and deployment guides that let teams move fast without making a mess. Day to day, I lean on AI-assisted tooling — Claude Code, Copilot — to move faster through implementation and review, while keeping architecture and judgment calls firmly in human hands.

02 / Career
13+ years of craft
2012 – 2016
Foundations
Started with web development fundamentals — WordPress plugins, PHP apps, and Ruby on Rails APIs. Learned to translate business requirements into working software and developed a habit of writing clean, maintainable code from day one.
2016 – 2022
Distributed Systems
Deepened into backend engineering at scale. Built Golang microservices with gRPC and GraphQL, authored TypeScript APIs, and worked on systems where performance and reliability actually mattered. Six years of shipping production-grade software.
2022 – Present
Architecture & Leadership
Evolved into solution architect and team lead. Owning the full arc — from discovery and system design to implementation and release. Leading cross-functional teams, setting technical direction, and making sure both the code and the team are in good shape.
