Senior backend and platform engineer with 15+ years of experience building and operating distributed production systems. My recent work has focused on scaling high-throughput platforms, improving database and application performance, building observability and reliability practices, and removing infrastructure bottlenecks.
Looking for Staff or Principal IC roles with meaningful hands-on ownership. I work best with small, experienced teams that value autonomy, clear responsibility, and measurable engineering outcomes.
Senior platform and infrastructure engineer with 15+ years building and operating production systems under real load. Background spans hands-on engineering and technical leadership in environments where uptime, throughput, and cost control matter.
Recent work includes scaling and stabilizing distributed systems, redesigning data and compute paths to remove bottlenecks, and leading teams through reliability-focused transformations. Comfortable operating close to the metal when needed, and equally comfortable defining technical direction and execution standards.
I work best with teams that value autonomy, clear ownership, and measurable outcomes. Open to senior IC or staff-level roles, and to technical leadership positions with or without heavy people management.
Happy to discuss details over email.
