What I do
-
Distributed systems
Event-driven backends on Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch that are designed for failure and measured in p99s, not averages.
-
Platforms on Kubernetes
Cloud-native services in Python, Go, and C#, shipped with Terraform on Azure and AWS, with the CI/CD and observability to run them day to day.
-
Secure APIs for regulated data
Hardened GraphQL and REST APIs for public-safety and healthcare data: threat modelling, least-privilege access, and audits that pass.
