01. About me
I’m a senior software engineer and system architect with 15+ years of experience building high-performance, fault-tolerant backend platforms. I’ve led engineering teams in delivering mission-critical systems for fintech, productivity tech, and real-time communication products—handling millions of requests, strict SLAs, and production uptime requirements.
My core expertise lies in designing scalable architectures, streamlining developer workflows, and implementing reliable DevOps practices to support rapid delivery and maintainability. I've consistently reduced infrastructure costs, improved performance, and helped businesses go from idea to full-scale, production-grade systems.
I thrive at the intersection of engineering, product, and people—leading teams, mentoring engineers, and turning complexity into clarity with pragmatic solutions grounded in real-world business needs.
02. Interests and Hobbies
I’m driven by a deep interest in systems thinking, both in software and life. I enjoy designing elegant backend systems, automating tedious workflows, and exploring how structure and intentionality can reduce mental overhead for users and developers alike.
Outside of pure tech, I’m a productivity enthusiast and the creator of Smarter Day, a platform and book that emerged from personal transformation during a life crisis. That experience fuels my passion for simplifying daily structure through software and behavioral systems.
In my free time, you’ll find me exploring neuroscience, cognitive efficiency, and timeless philosophies that help people think better, act intentionally, and live with purpose. I also enjoy music production and writing as forms of focused expression.
03. Framework Preferences
I believe in using technology that provides maximum leverage with minimum complexity. I avoid bloated stacks and favor clarity, maintainability, and composability in every layer.
Backend:
Golang is my primary backend language—chosen for its performance, clarity, and scalability. I prefer minimal frameworks like Fiber or Chi, with PostgreSQL, Redis, and tools like NATS or RabbitMQ for async processing and messaging.
Frontend:
I work with TypeScript, Svelte, and React, depending on project needs. I value frameworks that offer strong typing, SSR/SPA flexibility, and good DX. Tailwind CSS is my go-to for fast, clean UI work without overdesigning.
Infra & DevOps:
Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, FluxCD, and Docker form my core DevOps toolkit. I prioritize GitOps, reproducibility, and observability from day one. Whether it's autoscaling APIs or running microservices in Cloud, I value full control and zero vendor lock-in.
