Platform clarity

Designing services that stay readable under pressure and scale without drama.

Operational calm

Observability, safe rollout paths, and systems that behave predictably.

Developer experience

APIs and workflows that feel considered, documented, and easy to trust.

About

Infrastructure should be invisible to the user and predictable for the team. I build for stability first, then scale.

I like clean interfaces, expressive documentation, and systems that let the next engineer move fast without fear.

I'm experimenting with AI to streamline backend workflows and developer tooling.
