Building distributed systems that scale.
Go · Elixir · Kubernetes · AWS
I design and ship production systems that stay fast, observable, and reliable under real-world load. Most of my work lives in services you never see — databases, queues, controllers, and infra that other teams build on.

I'm a passionate Software Development Engineer at Initializ with 1y 7m of professional experience building scalable backend systems and cloud-native applications.
I specialise in distributed systems, microservices architecture, and secure APIs. My work spans high-traffic lending platforms, RAG-based AI assistants, and custom Kubernetes controllers.
When I'm not shipping production code, I'm writing about backend engineering, contributing to open-source, or exploring new technologies.
