About

I’m a backend engineer who enjoys taking ambiguous product ideas and turning them into production systems. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve worked across high-scale e-commerce, intelligent document processing, data platforms, and AI-powered products.

My work has ranged from order workflows handling 100k+ daily orders to document extraction systems and asynchronous AI pipelines processing thousands of conversations every day. I’m particularly interested in the engineering behind reliable AI products: orchestration, structured generation, async processing, and the backend systems that make them production-ready.

I enjoy owning problems end-to-end: understanding the problem, designing the architecture, building the system, deploying it, and improving it from production feedback.

Open to senior / staff backend roles
