CTO • Software Architect • AI & Platform Engineering • Security
I build and scale software systems across backend, infrastructure and AI domains.
Over the last 10+ years, I worked in biotech, healthcare, fintech and security —mostly focused on system architecture, platform reliability and engineering leadership.
I care less about frameworks and more about:
- how systems behave under scale and failure
- how teams actually deliver software in real world
- how to reduce complexity instead of adding it
- how AI can be used in production systems (not just demos)
I work at the intersection of:
- System Architecture – designing backend and platform systems that scale
- Infrastructure & Cloud – AWS, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD
- Security Engineering – observability, SIEM, threat modeling
- AI Engineering – RAG systems, LLM apps, assistants
- Platform Engineering – internal tooling, developer experience
- CTO of a biotech DNA analysis platform (pre and post acquisition leadership)
- Infrastructure redesign using Terraform (cost reduction, simplification)
- Backend systems in Node.js / TypeScript / Python
- Audit logging and observability systems
- AI assistant prototypes for domain specific knowledge systems (RAG based)
- Reverse engineering and low level system analysis work
- Developer tooling and internal frameworks
- AI assisted engineering systems (RAG, agents, eval driven design)
- Platform reliability and observability
- Security first system design
- Reducing complexity in distributed systems
- Building tools that improve developer velocity
“If system cannot be understood, it cannot be maintained.”
I optimize for:
- clarity over cleverness
- ownership over abstraction
- observability over guessing
- simplicity over scaling complexity
- Node.js / TypeScript / Python
- AWS / Terraform / Docker / CI/CD
- PostgreSQL / Redis / event driven systems
- Observability and security tooling
- LLMs / embeddings / vector search / RAG pipelines
