// About

Engineering at scale.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience architecting and delivering production systems that handle millions of operations. My expertise spans Go, Java, Kotlin, Kafka, Kubernetes, and AWS — from refactoring core product models to building high-throughput data pipelines. I've contributed to the success of companies like HelloFresh, Frontdoor, and Hewlett-Packard, and I'm driven by clean architecture, measurable impact, and collaborative engineering.
