I build real systems, solve real problems, and mentor people who like asking "why" as much as "how." I've worn titles from founding engineer to principal architect, across startups, scaleups, and the occasional fire that needed putting out yesterday.

My stack is broad—Java, Go, Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, data pipelines, distributed systems—but tools are just tools. I care more about why we're building, who it's for, and how we'll keep it running when things get weird at 3 a.m.

I'm not interested in shipping complexity or babysitting fragile architectures. I like code that's honest, systems that are observable, and teams that take their work seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

I mentor engineers because someone once mentored me. I challenge assumptions, ask uncomfortable questions early, and try to leave the codebase (and the team) better than I found it.

If you're solving hard problems and value pragmatism over posturing, feel free to reach out.
