About Me

I’m a backend-focused full-stack engineer with 2+ years of experience building and optimizing large-scale distributed systems in production environments.

My work primarily involves designing APIs, improving system performance, building real-time data pipelines, and developing internal platforms where reliability, scalability, and observability are critical.

I enjoy working on engineering problems that involve understanding system behavior, diagnosing performance issues, and making data-driven improvements.

Outside of work, I enjoy experimenting with side projects and learning new things.
