# About

I’m a hands-on software engineer and technical lead focused on turning uncertain product ideas into working, reliable systems.

I usually work where the problem is not fully understood yet. I identify the assumptions that matter, build the smallest useful version, test it against reality, and use what we learn to decide what should be built next.

My work has taken me across backend engineering, infrastructure, automation, security, reliability, and distributed systems because I tend to follow problems end to end.

I’m particularly interested in systems where correctness matters: financial software, infrastructure, security-sensitive applications, and products with complex rules or failure modes.

This site documents the systems I’ve built, improved, secured, and studied.
