Almost a decade delivering systems at scale, I build services that ship reliably and stay easy to maintain as complexity grows. I work across the full lifecycle from distributed service design and cloud-native infrastructure to automated delivery and production observability. I design around open standards to ensure interoperability and long-term maintainability, and I bring the same rigor to how software runs in production as to how it's built keeping platforms stable, performant, and resilient as they evolve. I also contribute to open-source software that powers the modern web.

DevOps Engineer
As a DevOps Engineer at VOID, I focused on building and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket), reducing build and delivery times for the development team. I also defined and enforced secure Git workflows through branch access policies and created an internal developer platform that significantly boosted productivity. Beyond CI/CD, I operated Kubernetes clusters across all environments and deployed a Grafana-centered observability stack for efficient incident detection.
Backend developer
Previously, as a Backend Developer, I designed AI-driven pipelines in Python for processing large-scale satellite imagery and optimized object detection models using PyTorch for reliable results under resolution constraints. I also implemented complex APIs to feed time-series dashboards while integrating with legacy and multi-platform systems.
Open Source Developer
In my role as an Open Source Developer for Deno, I contributed to improving Node.js compatibility and the Deno CLI's overall usability. I implemented critical features like the SQLite backup capability (PR #29842) and resolved task name conflicts within the CLI (PR #29538). My work also involved fixing deep object comparison bugs in node/assert (PR #29428), improving multi-package uninstall features, and enhancing environment variable reloading during watch mode to create a smoother developer experience.
Open Source Contributor | Ongoing | Remote
As an Open Source Contributor to the Node.js core, I am actively exploring the system's architecture and improving its built-in tooling. My contributions include fixing incorrect signal exit codes in the Node.js test runner (PR #62039) and ensuring the test runner provides consistent feedback across different operating system platforms.
Full-stack Developer
As a Full-stack Developer, I have partnered with various clients to develop and maintain high-performance software solutions. My focus has always been on delivering real value through optimized systems that ensure high availability and a seamless user experience across a variety of web applications.
Backend Developer
During my time at DSAI For Moz, I evaluated and adopted a modern Python ecosystem (FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy) following scalable architecture and SOLID design principles. I built production-ready RESTful APIs with automated testing and implemented Docker-based containerization along with CI/CD pipelines for automated builds and deployments. This approach significantly improved system scalability, reliability, and the overall speed of feature delivery.
Beyond commercial work, I dive deep into systems programming and performance engineering:
- Low-Level Tools: Exploring compilers, custom virtual machines (rusvm), and raw sockets on TCP.
- Web Tooling: Passionate about Developer Experience (DX) and fault-tolerant system design inspired by Erlang/BEAM.
- Open Source: Ongoing contributions to Deno and exploring the Node.js core.
Building expertise in: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi), Ansible, Azure, SecOps, Virtualization, and Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
