Backend-heavy engineer with full-stack experience, mostly working with Go, Node.js, Next.js, and TypeScript. I like understanding how systems work end to end, from backend performance and databases to UI, observability, and infrastructure.
I enjoy working with distributed systems, open-source projects, databases, concurrency, and infrastructure. I also like reading codebases, working with maintainers, and contributing back to the projects I use.
Currently Building Gshift.
