Backend engineering
Building scalable systems that power modern products.
I am a backend engineer with 3+ years of experience shipping production infrastructure for concurrent users. I focus on clean architecture, TypeScript-first codebases, and systems that are observable, testable, and resilient when things go wrong.
What I build
I specialize in backends that need to stay correct and fast as product surface area grows: bounded contexts, clear contracts between services, and operational signals that make incidents boring to diagnose.
APIs at scale
High-throughput REST and GraphQL APIs designed for clarity, versioning, and predictable performance under load.
Real-time systems
WebSocket architectures and streaming patterns that keep clients in sync without sacrificing reliability.
Event-driven backends
Microservices and async pipelines that decouple domains, improve resilience, and scale with traffic.
Stack and principles
Day to day I reach for NestJS, PostgreSQL, and AWS, with TypeScript as the default language for shared types across services and clients. I care about naming, module boundaries, and making the “happy path” and failure modes equally explicit in code and in dashboards.
Where I have shipped
Production systems I have contributed to span several domains. That variety shaped how I think about compliance, payments, real-time messaging, catalog and inventory, and learning progress—all with different consistency and latency requirements.

Owning the full backend lifecycle
I am comfortable owning work from design through deployment: sketching interfaces and data models, implementing with tests, packaging for reproducible runs, and shipping to the cloud with monitoring in place. I am effective as an individual contributor and as a technical lead—pairing, reviewing, and aligning the team on architecture without slowing delivery.
