About me

Hey - nice to meet you!

I'm a backend engineer with a passion for building clean, scalable systems and empowering engineering teams to do their best work. With years of hands-on experience in software development, I’ve helped startups design robust APIs, architect modern backend systems, and ship high-quality code fast.

But I’m not just about code.

Over the past few years, I’ve also taken on engineering leadership roles — mentoring developers, shaping technical strategy, and aligning engineering execution with business goals. That’s why I offer a unique blend of technical depth and team guidance, ideal for early-stage startups who need senior engineering firepower but aren’t ready for a full-time hire.

I currently offer fractional services. I work with early-stage startups and growing tech teams as a fractional backend engineer and technical leader. Whether you need someone to lay the foundation for your product or scale your existing backend systems, I bring both strategic thinking and hands-on execution.

What I'm doing

    Backend Development & Architecture

    I can plan and build an entire backend architecture from scratch, using modern, proven software patterns that ensure maintainability, scalability, and performance.

  • Web development icon

    DevOps, Infrastructure & Observability

    A great product needs great infrastructure. I can set up everything from scratch or help you improve what you already have. I also implement end-to-end observability.

    Fractional Tech Leadership

    Beyond code, I bring leadership. I can step in as a fractional backend lead or engineering director, helping with technical decision-making, mentorship, hiring and planning.

    Legacy System Modernization

    Work with companies to refactor or re-architect older systems: modernize monoliths, move to microservices, or migrate infrastructure to the cloud.
