CS Graduate · 8+ Years in Backend Engineering · Currently Engineering Manager
I build systems that handle 200K+ concurrent users, scale 10x under load, and don't page you at 3 AM. If you need backend architecture, performance engineering, or a tech lead who ships - let's talk.
I'm a backend-focused engineer and engineering leader with deep expertise in high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems. I've spent my career building real-time platforms that serve millions of users — from writing the first line of code to leading the teams that maintain them at scale.
I'm especially strong at the intersection of architecture, performance, and developer productivity — the kind of work that compounds over time.

Designed and maintained the caching infrastructure (Redis) for a real-time gaming platform handling 200,000+ simultaneous gameplays. Owned the full lifecycle — scaling, optimization, incident RCAs, and automation.
Built and maintained a performance testing infrastructure from scratch. Used it to systematically identify and eliminate bottlenecks across infra, databases, and application layers - ultimately scaling services to handle 10x their original workload.
Led a cache optimization initiative that reduced overall Redis memory usage by ~80% - a massive cost saving without sacrificing latency or reliability.
Drove a Kafka cluster downscaling project, right-sizing infrastructure to cut costs while preserving throughput guarantees.
