About

I'm a 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.
