I build systems, products, and teams that solve real problems.
My background is primarily in backend engineering, system architecture, data, infrastructure, and product development.
- Design backend systems and software architecture
- Build APIs, distributed services, and internal platforms
- Design and operate cloud infrastructure
- Explore practical AI/LLM applications
- Build data and analytics systems
- Lead and develop engineering teams
- Turn product ideas into MVPs and production systems
- AI agents for business and engineering workflows
- AI-assisted software development
- Practical LLM applications
- System architecture and scalability
- Engineering team effectiveness
- Data-driven product development
- Building small SaaS products
- Turning internal tools into products
I enjoy taking ideas from:
Problem → Prototype → MVP → Production
Some things I've worked on include:
- Finance and ERP-style backoffice systems
- SaaS products
- AI proxy and LLM gateway infrastructure
- Database backup, migration, and validation tooling
- RAG systems over internal data
- Internal engineering tools
- Mobile applications
- Developer tools
Good engineering is not about using the most technology. It's about solving the right problem with the right amount of technology.
| I generally prefer | Over |
|---|---|
| Simple systems | Unnecessary complexity |
| Automation | Repetitive work |
| Observable systems | "It should be fine" |
| Small iterations | Big-bang releases |
| Data-driven decisions | Assumptions |
| Production usefulness | Technical perfection |
| Tools that solve problems | Tools that look impressive |
I also work on the people and process side of engineering:
- Engineering team structure
- Technical direction
- System design reviews
- Developer mentoring
- Delivery planning
- Engineering metrics
- AI capability development
- Improving engineering workflows
- Turning business requirements into technical execution
