01 / whoami

Engineer who ships measurable outcomes.

I build the backend systems that quietly hold products together — APIs that don't fall over, auth that doesn't leak, infrastructure that scales without drama.

Across four teams in three years, I've shipped encrypted messaging platforms, AI-powered evaluation engines, and high-traffic logistics APIs — owning everything from database schema to cloud deployment.

I care about latency budgets, clean contracts between services, and writing code the next engineer can actually read.
