I'm a software engineer with more than 5 years of experience building and scaling backend systems across SaaS and marketplace products. I've worked on things from day zero to tens of thousands of users, and inherited codebases that made me question everything I knew about software.
I gravitate toward hard problems — designing systems from scratch, making legacy code behave, optimizing the query that somehow takes 12 seconds, or convincing a distributed system to be consistent when it really doesn't want to be. I'm language-agnostic and tend to pick up new stacks as needed, but I do have opinions about keeping abstractions clean and infrastructure predictable.
