What I do

Backend Systems

Scalable APIs, microservices, and distributed architecture. Reliability is not optional when the systems need to hold under real load.

AI Products

Agent workflows, applied LLMs, and productized AI. The interesting part is making these systems useful enough to deploy.

Product Engineering

From zero to shipped MVP. Technical judgment and product taste are part of the same craft.

Technical Strategy

Architecture decisions, stack selection, and pragmatic tradeoffs for products that need to move fast without collapsing later.

Philosophy

Building with intent, not noise.

Software is craft. I care about systems that work in the real world — not just in demos. Technical depth is leverage, not identity theater.

01. Ship, learn, iterate

Shipping beats planning theater. I prefer a live product with rough edges over a perfect spec with no users.

02. Ownership at every level

I want to understand the product vision and the technical constraints at the same time. Engineers who only see code miss half the problem.

03. AI when it moves from novelty to execution

I’m interested in AI when it connects to real workflows and changes how work actually gets done.

04. Product taste is an engineering skill

Choosing the right abstraction and choosing the right feature are closer than most people think.

Open to interesting conversations

Let’s build something real.

If you're building something ambitious in AI, backend infrastructure, or early-stage product, I’m always interested in a good conversation.
