Senior software engineer focused on backend systems, developer tooling, and platform engineering. I build TypeScript/Node.js and Python services, and I'm happiest when I'm collapsing duplicated systems into shared, well-tested foundations that make other engineers faster.
Currently exploring senior IC roles in backend, platform, or developer experience engineering. Recent side quests: agentic development workflows, coding agents, local LLM apps, and document ingestion pipelines.
Core: TypeScript · Node.js · Python · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Docker · Kubernetes
