What I Do
Areas where I've spent the most time designing, building, and operating real production systems.
Production Software Engineering
Building maintainable production software across web applications, APIs, databases, and background workflows using modern JavaScript and cloud-native platforms. Emphasis on clear design, pragmatic delivery, and long-term ownership.
Backend & Distributed Systems
Designing API-driven and event-driven systems with durable state, asynchronous workflows, authentication, clear service boundaries, and low-latency data access. Focused on predictable behavior and operational visibility.
Platform Engineering & Internal Tools
Building internal platforms, developer-facing tooling, and business-critical operational software that replace manual processes, standardize workflows, improve visibility, and support day-to-day work across teams.
Integrations & Data Pipelines
Connecting independent systems through APIs, webhooks, EDI, synchronization workflows, and structured data pipelines, with attention to validation, reliable failure handling, and operational visibility.
Cloud & Edge Engineering
Designing and delivering production workloads on AWS and Cloudflare, including deployment systems, edge-native architectures, hybrid connectivity, observability, and cost-conscious infrastructure decisions.
Reliability & Operations
Owning production systems beyond deployment through monitoring, incident response, disaster recovery, security hardening, and resilience planning, with an emphasis on continuity and practical recovery.
