About

Backend-focused engineer. Product-minded builder. Pragmatic problem solver.

I’m a senior backend engineer specializing in Python systems, API design, and maintainable backend architecture.

Over the years, I’ve worked across startup environments, modern product teams, and legacy systems, with a strong focus on building production-grade software that stays understandable as it grows. My core expertise includes FastAPI, Pydantic, Django, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Docker, testing, CI/CD, and developer tooling.

I’m particularly effective when a team needs someone who can take ownership of backend complexity without overengineering it: translating ambiguous product needs into clear technical design, structuring code so it remains maintainable over time, improving reliability and developer experience together, and modernizing existing systems safely.

I care about pragmatic engineering. Good systems should not just work today — they should still be easy to reason about six months later, when the product has grown and new people need to build on top of them.
