Senior Backend Engineer for Reliable, Scalable Systems

I architect and build mission-critical backend systems—event-driven architectures, distributed services, and high-performance APIs that scale with the business.

What I Do

I build backend systems that handle real business complexity—event-driven architectures, microservices, and performance-critical workflows. I lead migrations from monoliths to distributed systems and establish cross-team standards that make scaling predictable.

Areas of Focus

Architecture

EventBridge + SQS standards, AsyncAPI documentation, internal RPC services.

Velocity

Terraform modules, Kotlin services, and workflow automation for rapid delivery.

Systems

Rust IPC, network protocol analysis, and gRPC data pipelines.

What I'm Exploring

I'm interested in senior backend and platform engineering roles where I can leverage my experience in distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and developer enablement:

Senior Backend Engineer

Building scalable distributed systems, designing event-driven architectures, and improving developer productivity on high-impact platform teams.

Backend Engineer - Cybersecurity

Applying distributed systems expertise to security challenges—building threat detection pipelines, secure data infrastructure, and resilient backend services in the cybersecurity domain.

Platform Engineer

Designing internal developer platforms, building shared infrastructure, and creating tools that accelerate delivery across engineering teams.
