01 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE
Curiosity, with
a technical edge.
Architecture that holds up
under real-world load.
I build backend and platform systems across AWS, Node.js, Python, Go, Kafka, Redis, and Kubernetes. My work spans multi-tenant hotel platforms, nationwide delivery infrastructure, API integrations, and security hardening.
I hold an MS in Computer Science from the University of San Francisco and work with teams that need thoughtful system design and hands-on delivery.
