Software engineer with 8+ years shipping backend platforms, distributed services, and performance-critical paths — with a pragmatic focus on reliability, maintainability, and measurable outcomes.
*Outcomes from recent platform & performance work
Rails, Node/NestJS, microservices, and event-driven architectures built for scale and clarity.
Query optimization, async workers, queues, and caching tuned for real production load.
Better monitoring, higher reliability in production, SOLID/TDD, and healthier codebases.
Agents, MCP, and workflows that raise team throughput without lowering the engineering bar.
Money gets lost in your head and in stale spreadsheets: purchases never logged, monthly bills that hit by surprise, and no warning before the cutoff.
An app that holds balances, spending, and income, turns recurrings into clear due items, and reminds you before it hurts.
Most CV tools either over-claim what a score means or treat resume uploads as disposable, with little real access policy or operational discipline behind the model call.
A product split between interface and engine: privacy-first ingest, capability-based access, fair limits, and analysis moved off the request path.
Product-specific notification implementations were unreliable under load and hard to operate as a shared platform concern.
A centralized, fault-tolerant event-driven microservice with queues, retries, and clear ownership across products.
