About Me

I'm a Software Engineer who thrives on building systems that scale. My work revolves around designing high-availability backend architectures, optimizing performance at the infrastructure level, and shipping reliable software that handles real-world traffic.

I've worked across product-driven startups and enterprise platforms — from scaling systems to 100M+ monthly active users to architecting event-driven microservices and optimizing CI/CD pipelines for rapid delivery.

I care deeply about system reliability, developer experience, and clean engineering.
