About

Backend systems at scale, powered by AI workflows that ship faster.

A decade delivering mission-critical platforms across fintech, payments, e-commerce, aviation, and HR technology. Today I bring that architecture depth together with AI-first engineering, using agents, MCP servers, and automation to eliminate toil, accelerate delivery, and keep teams focused on high-leverage work.

Backend Engineering

Systems built for scale, security, and long-term maintainability

  • Microservice platforms and scalable backend services for business-critical domains.
  • Secure, extensible APIs with strong resilience and production-readiness.
  • Reliable integrations for regulated, transaction-heavy environments.
  • Architecture grounded in OOP, SOLID principles, and proven design patterns.
AI-First Engineering

Delegate the repeatable, focus on architecture and judgment

  • Use Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to push ~80% of routine coding to AI.
  • Build custom MCP servers to connect AI agents to internal tools, APIs, and databases.
  • Design agentic workflows (LangChain, LangGraph) that automate review, testing, and reporting cycles.
  • Treat AI as a multiplier: plan deliberately, review critically, ship continuously.
Delivery Excellence

CI/CD, observability, and quality at every layer

  • Automated pipelines, release automation, and comprehensive testing strategy.
  • Observability, performance tuning, and production monitoring.
  • Cross-functional delivery with Product, QA, and DevOps for aligned outcomes.
  • Code review discipline and engineering standards that scale with the team.
Technical Leadership

Hands-on ownership, mentoring, and pragmatic decision-making

  • Lead solution design, architecture reviews, and technical direction across projects.
  • Mentor engineers, onboard new members, and raise team-wide engineering standards.
  • Balance architectural quality with pragmatism for fast, low-risk delivery.
  • Direct client and stakeholder communication to align requirements with solutions.
