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.
