Hi! I'm a backend engineer with strong DevOps experience and mid-level frontend skills. Looking for a backend or backend-leaning full-stack role.

I worked at Automattic, the company behind WordPress; fully remote, async teams across the globe.

Building web apps since 2017. I care about good design, scalable systems, and writing simple, maintainable code. I've built and maintained time-sensitive, high-throughput (millions of ops daily) services in production, and I've owned features and projects end-to-end, from design to deployment.

I know how to make smart tradeoffs, think strategically, and balance speed with quality. I like to think of myself as more than a mere software engineer: I can help shape products, something I've consistently delivered across every product I've been part of.

I have a couple of small open-source projects on GitHub.
