I build backends
that think.
Backend & AI Systems Engineer. I design distributed services, LLM pipelines, and developer tools that run quietly under load — and ship.
Things I've built recently
Supergate
Production-grade multi-tenant LLM API gateway unifying OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google with pgvector semantic caching, RBAC, and PII masking.
Pulse
Self-hostable enterprise feature flag service with recursive rules and SSE rollouts.
Define
Type-safe resource DSL producing Drizzle schemas, Fastify validators, and OpenAPI specs.
How I Build
Boring is Better
I prioritize predictable, battle-tested technologies over the latest trends. Complex architectures are only introduced when strictly necessary to solve specific scale problems.
Design for Failure
Systems will fail. I build with defensive boundaries, comprehensive monitoring, and aggressive degradation paths so that localized issues don't cascade across the platform.
Product-Minded
Code is a means to an end. I focus heavily on latency, cost-efficiency, and user experience, ensuring that backend decisions align directly with business goals.
Got an idea? I'll take it all the way.
Beyond my own projects, I partner directly with founders and businesses to take digital products from zero to live. I own the vision end-to-end — strategy, architecture, design, code, and launch — so you don't have to coordinate a team.
Let's build something great.
I'm actively looking for full-time roles and taking on select freelance projects. Whether you're hiring an engineer to scale your team or need serious backend expertise for your product, let's talk.
