I'm a backend engineer who loves solving tough problems and building impactful systems. I thrive on learning new things, pushing the boundaries of infrastructure, and making a difference through software.
I'm currently working at D.E. Shaw where I've built large-scale dataset onboarding workflows, a Google Zanzibar–style authorization engine, and report scheduling systems used organization-wide.
I care deeply about system performance, concurrency, and developer productivity. Currently building Gradual—a stress testing framework focused on concurrent user simulation.
