I’m a principal-level software engineer, tech lead, and former founder with 14+ years of experience building distributed systems and scaling SaaS platforms. My work spans backend architecture, platform engineering, infrastructure modernization, and engineering leadership.

I’ve led cross-functional initiatives, designed high-availability systems, and helped teams ship reliably through stronger architecture, better delivery practices, and hands-on mentoring. I’m especially interested in pragmatic systems design, maintainable developer platforms, and open-source tools that solve real operational problems for real engineers.

I like working at the intersection of software architecture, delivery velocity, and long-term reliability. That usually means simplifying complex systems, improving deployment safety, standardizing engineering patterns, and helping teams make better technical decisions as they grow.

I enjoy the kind of engineering work where the outcome is not just "it works," but "it stays understandable six months later." Clean abstractions, boring deployments, sharp debugging loops, and reusable tools for the next person are my idea of a good time.

• Languages: Ruby, Go, Node.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, C++
• Frameworks: Ruby on Rails, React, GraphQL, Express.js, Angular
• Architecture: Distributed systems, microservices, modular platforms, high-availability systems
• Cloud & Infra: AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Heroku, GitOps, CI/CD
• Data: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
• Specialized Areas: Developer platforms, infrastructure automation, mobile apps, Web3 systems

I build software and tooling that make engineering teams faster, calmer, and more effective. That includes open-source work, platform improvements, and product systems designed for scale, resilience, and clear ownership.

I care a lot about giving back to the ecosystem that helped me grow. If I can turn a hard-won lesson, rough edge, or repeated bug into something reusable for other developers, that usually feels like time well spent.

• Designing systems that are easier to operate than to explain
• Turning recurring engineering pain into reusable tools, docs, and patterns
• Making Rails applications feel boring in production for the right reasons
• Keeping architecture practical, not theatrical
• Building things that a future maintainer will not quietly resent

If my open-source work is useful to you, GitHub Sponsors helps me keep maintaining projects, shipping improvements, and documenting practical solutions for other engineers.

• 14+ years across engineering leadership, hands-on architecture, and product delivery
• Experience spanning SaaS platforms, infrastructure modernization, and scalable backend systems
• Strong focus on mentoring, platform quality, and sustainable engineering practices

• I like systems with fewer surprises, smaller diffs, and commit messages that age well
• I have a soft spot for well-factored Ruby code and unglamorous reliability work
• I enjoy debugging performance issues almost as much as preventing them
• If there’s a messy legacy workflow in the room, I’ll probably try to simplify it
• I think good open source is part code, part empathy, part stubborn maintenance

• I like building in public, sharing patterns, and leaving behind useful abstractions
• I care about documentation because great code is only half the job
• Mentoring, reviewing, and unblocking other engineers is work I genuinely enjoy
• Open source has shaped how I build software, and I try to return that value whenever I can

Thanks for visiting my profile. If you care about open source, scalable systems, pragmatic architecture, and shipping software without unnecessary drama, we’ll probably get along.
