Engineering philosophy
Built for production reality
I design systems to survive traffic spikes, bad deploys, and incomplete requirements. That means strict interfaces, clear ownership, and instrumentation that makes failures obvious.
Capabilities
Execution across the stack
Production checklist
What I ship every time
If it isn't operable, it isn't done. Each delivery includes the systems needed to run safely in production: testing, monitoring, and clear ownership.
Availability
99.9%+
Service health with monitored SLIs/SLOs.
Performance
<200ms
Critical endpoint latency under load.
Change safety
CI/CD
Automated tests, previews, and rollbacks.
Operations
On-call
Runbooks, alerts, and incident reviews.
Deliverables
Architecture diagrams, PRDs, runbooks, dashboards, and production-ready code.
Preferred stack
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node, Postgres, Redis, AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions.
Resume
Full timeline, impact, and stack
This is the complete record of roles, outcomes, and the systems I've shipped in production.
Snapshot
Full-stack, cloud, and platform delivery with ownership of reliability and performance.
Core domains
Internal tools, customer-facing platforms, data workflows, and ops tooling.
Notes
Field notes from production
Short writes on reliability, system design, and operational tradeoffs I've learned firsthand.
