About

I’m a senior software development engineer with 10+ years of experience building distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS platforms, often in reliability- and latency-critical environments. I’ve worked across multiple technology ecosystems (Python, PHP, JavaScript/Node.js) with deep backend expertise, and I’m comfortable operating production platforms at hundreds of requests per second while planning safe scaling to higher throughput.

Beyond day-to-day engineering, I enjoy solving hard system and automation problems—whether that’s query and ingestion performance on petabyte-scale PostgreSQL, building multi-tenant services with strong security controls, or researching software automation in bioinformatics. I’ve also contributed to open-source with a security focus, and I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science, aiming to push the boundary of automation tools for data-intensive scientific workflows.
