I ship

Data consultant turned self-taught engineer. Nine products since 2023. I own the schema, the backend, and the deploy.

Featured work

Backend lead · current

Consumer social app, 50K downloads in 4 months. Two years of legacy debt had killed local dev; I restored Docker parity in 40 hours. My notification pipeline handles 5,000+ events/sec.

Everything else

Data-first

Good schemas. Safe migrations. Tested backups. Boring deploys.

Products change every week; the data has to survive all of it. I was a data person before I was an engineer, and it shows in how I build.
