What I do
10+ years of end-to-end ownership across backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and security. Taking platforms from greenfield to production, handling unpredictable workloads, and operating long-running stateful workflows in fully remote, international teams.
Backend & Platform Engineering
Architecture, API design, type-safe systems, workflow engines. Building maintainable platforms that handle real production traffic.
Cloud & Infrastructure
AWS, Terraform, serverless, Kubernetes. Designing and operating cloud-native systems with strong reliability and cost awareness.
Security & Compliance
ISO-27001, SOC-2, vulnerability management, security hardening. Compliance engineering baked into the architecture, not bolted on.
DevOps & Developer Experience
CI/CD, observability, automation, testing culture. Making teams faster and deploys safer with better tooling and workflows.
# areas of expertise
