Staff Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing and operating cloud-native, event-driven platforms.
I specialize in AWS serverless architectures, data platforms, and scalable backend systems, with a strong focus on reliability, cost efficiency, and developer enablement.

Currently working remote-first, owning and evolving production-critical systems that process high-volume event streams and power near real-time analytics.

• Event-driven architectures on AWS (EventBridge, SQS, SNS, Lambda, Step Functions)
• Data platforms & analytics pipelines (S3 data lakes, Athena, Iceberg, Redshift Serverless)
• Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK
• Platform engineering: reusable primitives, monorepos, and opinionated architectures
• Operational excellence: DLQs, retries, alarms, incident response, and system resilience

• Languages: TypeScript, Python, JavaScript, SQL
• Cloud: AWS (Serverless, CDK, EventBridge, SQS, SNS, Step Functions, S3, Athena)
• Backend: Node.js, GraphQL
• Data: S3 Data Lakes, Athena, Iceberg, Redshift Serverless
• DevEx: AWS CDK, Monorepos (Turborepo), CI/CD
• Frontend: React (when product-facing work is needed)

I care deeply about:

• Designing systems that scale without constant heroics
• Making trade-offs explicit (cost, complexity, speed)
• Building platforms that enable other engineers, not slow them down
• Treating production as a first-class concern
