Full-Stack Engineer 

I design and build the whole stack — interfaces people enjoy, and the systems underneath that keep them fast at scale.

01Selected Work

Things I built and still stand behind. 

A slice of recent work — platforms, products and the infrastructure holding them up. Each one links to a short write-up.

02What I Build

Four things I do properly. 

I'd rather go deep on a short list than claim the whole stack of buzzwords. This is where I'm genuinely useful.

01

Web Applications

Product interfaces built with Next.js and React — server-rendered, typed end to end, and fast on the devices your users actually own.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Design Systems
02

APIs & Backend Systems

Services that stay correct under load. Clean domain boundaries, honest error handling, and schemas that make invalid states impossible to represent.

  • Node.js
  • Go
  • PostgreSQL
  • gRPC
03

Cloud & Infrastructure

Infrastructure as code, reproducible environments, and deployment pipelines that make shipping on a Friday a non-event.

  • AWS
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • Terraform
04

Performance & Scale

Profiling, query tuning, and caching strategy for products that outgrew their first architecture — measured before and after, never guessed.

  • Profiling
  • Caching
  • Observability
  • Load Testing
03About

Who you'd be working with. 

I've spent 4 years on the seam between product and infrastructure  close enough to the interface to care how it feels, close enough to the database to know why it's slow. 

Most of my work has been at the point where a product stops being a prototype and has to survive real traffic, real money, and a team larger than three. That transition breaks things in predictable ways, and I've gotten good at seeing it coming.

I care about the unglamorous parts: migrations that can be rolled back, logs that answer the question you actually had, and code a new hire can read on their first afternoon.

Outside work I maintain a couple of open-source libraries, mentor two junior engineers, and take photographs of buildings nobody else finds interesting.

Have something worth building? 

Tell me what you’re working on and where it’s stuck. I reply to everything within a day or two — and I’ll say so plainly if I’m not the right fit.
