Senior Backend Engineer specializing in resilient architecture, distributed data, and high-throughput microservices.
Partnering with elite teams to architect scalable backends and solve complex infrastructure bottlenecks.
The core disciplines I leverage to build enterprise-grade infrastructure.
Deep dives into complex systems I have designed, scaled, and maintained in production.
Designed a highly available, low-latency rate limiting service utilizing a sliding window log algorithm over a global Redis cluster. Protected core APIs from massive DDoS vectors.
Built an event streaming architecture that ingests, processes, and stores millions of analytics events from distributed IoT devices with strict ordering and exactly-once processing guarantees.
Architected the core financial ledger API using event-driven CQRS patterns, migrating from a legacy monolith to robust, scalable microservices.
Recruiter-friendly architecture snapshots with explicit constraints, decisions, and trade-offs.
Challenge
Ingest bursty IoT traffic with ordering guarantees and low query latency.
Trade-off
Used Kafka partitions for ordering over strict global ordering to preserve horizontal scale.
Architecture Flow
Challenge
Protect multi-region APIs from abuse without penalizing legitimate spikes.
Trade-off
Chose sliding-window logs for precision at the cost of higher memory than token bucket.
Architecture Flow
I do my best work in teams that value ownership, calm incident response, and pragmatic architecture. I care about building systems that are understandable under load, observable in production, and easy for engineers to evolve without fear.
Whether you are scaling an MVP to enterprise readiness or restructuring a legacy monolith, I am ready to engineer the solution.
