About

I build systems that are reliable, fast, and useful.

I am a software engineer with over 9 years of experience across full-stack development, cloud, distributed systems, and product engineering. I enjoy taking ownership of complex work, improving system performance, and working closely with cross-functional teams.

Engineering focus

My work has centered on practical business systems: .NET applications, React interfaces, Azure-based delivery, microservices, distributed caching, messaging, and database-backed products.

A key highlight has been designing and developing a microservice-based trading exchange from scratch. Across my work, I have focused on streamlining processes, reducing downtime, and improving overall system performance.
