Backend Systems & Developer Tooling
I build robust systems for distributed computing environments and create developer tools that make complex infrastructure accessible. My focus is on systems thinking, understanding tradeoffs, and runtime behavior.
Focus Areas
Concurrency & Scheduling
Building systems that efficiently manage parallel execution and resource allocation.
Runtime Behavior
Understanding and optimizing how systems behave under load and in production.
Developer Experience
Creating tools and abstractions that reduce complexity and improve productivity.
About
With over a decade of experience in backend systems development, I've worked on everything from distributed task schedulers to high-performance runtime environments. I believe that good systems start with understanding the fundamental tradeoffs and constraints.
My approach emphasizes clarity of design intent, explicit tradeoffs, and measurable invariants. I'm particularly interested in problems at the intersection of performance, reliability, and developer productivity.
When not building systems, you'll find me exploring algorithms, contributing to open source, or writing technical notes on interesting problems I've encountered.
