Backend engineer who enjoys building reliable systems, exploring developer tools, and thinking about how products evolve from idea → production.
I like working on:
- Distributed systems
- Search & indexing
- Developer tooling
- AI-assisted software development
- Security & supply chain reliability
- Local LLM workflows for developers
- Hybrid search systems (keyword + vector)
- Self-hosted personal infrastructure
- Building small but well-engineered tools

I enjoy breaking complex systems into smaller pieces, understanding trade-offs, and building solutions that are simple, reliable, and maintainable.
Good engineering is not about complexity — it's about clarity.
