LET IT MORPH

3+ years shaping APIs, microservices and distributed pipelines.

~10 M req/day · 99.95% uptime · sub-100 ms p95 · zero on-call horror stories so far.

EYES ON THE HORIZON

Cloud-native infrastructure, edge computing & observability done right.

Currently exploring: WebAssembly on the edge · eBPF · GenAI infra cost engineering.

KEEP TRYING

Failure is data. Persistence is the algorithm.

Postmortems > blame · idempotent > clever · graceful > fast.

KEEP LEARNING

Currently reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications — for the third time.

Next up: Database Internals · CKA cert · a homelab Kubernetes cluster on Raspberry Pis.

WORK AS A TEAM

Open-source friendly. Async-first. Loves a clean Notion doc and an even cleaner deploy pipeline.

Discord · Slack · Linear · Github · whatever the team uses, I adapt.

THANKS

Let's build something resilient.
