I'm a backend and DevOps engineer with a passion for building systems that are fast, reliable, and easy to operate. My background spans distributed systems design, cloud-native infrastructure, and developer productivity tooling.

When I'm not optimizing Kubernetes resource utilization or writing Terraform modules, I contribute to open-source projects and write about systems engineering on my blog.
