Primarily building withGo

I enjoy designing backend services that are observable, testable, and easy to operate under real-world traffic. My recent work includes cache-aware APIs, RAG pipelines, streaming systems, and CI/CD workflows built with an emphasis on maintainability and operational clarity.

I'm particularly interested in system design, scaling bottlenecks, retry strategies, and the tradeoffs that shape production software. I like building systems that remain understandable even under failure, load, and growth.
