Profile
Backend engineer with 5+ years building high-throughput microservices in Go and Kubernetes on AWS. I specialize in taking slow, expensive, or unreliable systems and making them fast, cheap, and boring — recent work includes cutting infra costs by 85%, improving API response times by 45-55%, and pushing service uptime to 99.99%. Currently deepening my focus on platform and cloud engineering: infrastructure design, observability, and the systems that let other engineers ship confidently.
