about

I’m a senior software engineer at Rockbot. I wear many hats, but I focus on infrastructure and backend development. I enjoy solving hard problems at scale and being trusted to take on high-risk, high-impact work.

skills

My work spans a few closely related areas:

• Backend systems: designing services and APIs, modeling data, and building reliable integrations.
• Infrastructure and platforms: cloud architecture, container orchestration, infrastructure as code, observability, and developer tooling.
• Data: relational databases, caching, and the systems that move and serve data efficiently.
• Frontend: building and maintaining web applications when a project calls for it.

I also enjoy sharing and learning from others. I have volunteered for Microsoft’s TEALS program, where I helped teach computer science to high school students.
