I Build Things That Stay Up.
I'm a software engineer with 4+ years across platform infrastructure, backend services, and full-stack development - building and operating distributed systems on Kubernetes across AWS and GCP. I care about systems that stay up: I held a 99.9999% uptime SLO across 6 PCI-supporting production accounts at American Express on 24×7 on-call.
On the backend side, I've built TypeScript/Node.js and Java Spring Boot services at scale - from developer tooling platforms to high-throughput microservices handling 10K+ req/min. On the research side, my M.S. thesis became a peer-reviewed paper at ACM Middleware '26: FaaSpot runs serverless DAG workflows entirely on spot instances with no on-demand fallback, beating every hybrid baseline on success rate, cost, and latency.
I'm open to senior Platform Engineer, SRE, Backend Engineer, and Full-Stack Engineer roles - especially work that sits at the intersection of systems depth and real-world reliability: platform tooling, cost optimization, backend infrastructure, and the kind of on-call work where the decisions you make at 2 a.m. actually matter.
