Engineering Impact at Scale

I'm not just a developer who writes code — I'm an engineer who builds systems that solve real business problems.

Over the past 3+ years, I've architected and shipped backend-heavy platforms that process thousands of transactions daily, handle real-time data streams, and scale seamlessly under load. From property marketing platforms processing millions of data points to real-time booking engines serving concurrent users — I focus on building infrastructure that doesn't break at 3 AM.

My sweet spot is the intersection of backend architecture and business logic — designing systems where every API endpoint, every database query, and every caching strategy serves a measurable business outcome.

Reduced API response times by 60% through Redis caching and query optimization across multiple platforms
Built event-driven pipelines handling 50K+ events/day using Kafka and microservices architecture
Delivered 15+ production applications for startups across property tech, logistics, SaaS, and e-commerce
Designed systems processing millions of records with Elasticsearch-powered search achieving sub-100ms responses
Architected serverless workflows on AWS reducing infrastructure costs by 40% while improving scalability

Built for Startups

Ship Fast, Ship Right

I understand startup velocity. Features ship weekly with clean, maintainable code — not spaghetti that slows you down in month 3.

Systems Thinking

I don't just build endpoints — I design systems. From database schema to caching layers to message queues, every component has a purpose.

Remote-Native

Async communication, self-managed timelines, proactive updates. I've worked with global teams across US, UK, and Middle East timezones.

Production Mindset

Every system I build includes monitoring, error handling, and graceful degradation. Because uptime isn't optional — it's the product.
