I'm actively looking for remote backend / full-stack roles at product teams and startups — ideally async-first, with real engineering problems to solve. If that sounds like your team, reach out.
I'm also always up to talk distributed systems, LLM infra, TypeScript DSL design, or why The Backrooms is genuinely unsettling.
