7+ Years Backend Engineering

Architecting distributed systems and real-time pipelines. Built a custom distributed simulation engine that syncs info and simulates thousands of concurrent EV chargers.

Reliability at Scale

Platforms processing millions of messages daily. Designed an OCPP WebSocket gateway managing 20k+ persistent charger connections with 99.95% uptime.

Observability & Cost Optimization

Revamping monitoring and logging infrastructure to cut costs by 60% while accelerating root cause analysis across distributed services.

AI-Assisted Engineering

Adopting an AI-first approach to development — using Claude Code, Google Antigravity, and GitHub Copilot for Enterprise for agentic workflows, multi-model evaluation via OpenRouter, and self-hosted LLM inference with Ollama.

About Me

With over seven years of experience engineering scalable backend services, I build platforms that process millions of messages daily. From migrating enterprise monoliths to architecting high-throughput Kafka consumers, my specialty is reliability at scale. I lead cross-functional delivery, collaborating with hardware, firmware, CX, and Product teams, while mentoring junior engineers through rigorous code reviews.
