I build backend systems with a focus on clarity, correctness, and long-term maintainability.
About Me
I write backend code and design systems where frameworks are optional, but architecture, data structures, invariants, and correctness are fundamental. My main interests revolve around how real systems behave:
- data flows and lifecycle boundaries
- state isolation and consistency
- transactions, queues, caching
- API design and system invariants
- service interactions and failure modes I work primarily with Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Linux, and the ecosystem around reliable backend engineering. I focus on depth rather than breadth — fewer tools, deeper understanding.
Engineering Principles
- reduce surface area
- predictable data flows
- explicit boundaries
- no hidden state
- architecture as a tool, not decoration
- systems that remain readable years later
