TL;DR

I’m a product builder with 15+ years of experience designing and scaling real-world systems. I focus on building simple, reliable, and secure architectures that grow with the product, not against it.

I’ve worked across backend engineering, infrastructure, and platform reliability, helping products scale from early stages to millions of users. My strength lies less in tools and more in judgment: making the right trade-offs, choosing boring solutions when needed, and resisting unnecessary complexity.

I believe good systems are built by knowing when to build, what not to build, and when to stop optimizing.

Professional summary

  • Product-first engineer with deep experience in backend, infrastructure, and scalability
  • Designed and operated systems handling very high traffic and large datasets
  • Strong advocate of simplicity over complexity
  • Knows when microservices help — and when a monolith is the better choice
  • Comfortable deciding between SQL vs NoSQL based on access patterns, not trends
  • Prefers strongly typed languages for long-term maintainability
  • Love to write code primarily in Golang, and also works with Java, Node.js, and Python
  • Hands-on with AWS, Kubernetes, and cloud-native architectures
  • Experience scaling systems to millions of requests per day
  • Currently exploring blockchain and web3

How I think about building

  • Start simple, scale deliberately
  • Optimize only when data demands it
  • Prefer clarity over cleverness
  • Reliability and trust matter more than speed
  • Architecture is about people as much as technology

Personal summary

  • Loves to read books, mostly non-fiction.
  • Prefers Twitter over Facebook & Instagram. Trying to reduce screentime.
  • Tourist, not a traveller
