Building High-Performance Backend Infrastructure for Scale.

I help high-growth startups and companies architect resilient systems using Node.js, TypeScript, and Rust. With 6+ years of remote experience, I turn complex business requirements into production-grade software.

About

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over six years of experience building distributed systems and high-volume marketplace platforms. My career has evolved from co-founding SaaS startups to architecting security engines and financial bridges handling 10,000+ concurrent users.

I don't just write code; I build products. Having served as a CTO and Co-Founder, I understand that technical excellence must serve business outcomes. Whether I'm designing a microservices architecture or optimizing a PostgreSQL aggregation pipeline, my focus is always on reliability, scalability, and user impact.
