that scale.
15+ years designing backend systems, distributed architectures, and the engineering teams that ship them. I write about performance, reliability, and the craft of building software that lasts.
Selected Work
All projects Projects I'm proud of
Systems that solve real problems at scale.
Philosophy
How I think about engineering
Four principles that guide every system I design and every team I build.
Systems over components
A great system is greater than the sum of its parts. I design for composition, not isolation.
Performance is product
Latency, throughput, and reliability aren't operational concerns — they're product features that compound.
Measure everything
Intuition gets you to good. Observability gets you to great. You can't improve what you can't see.
People build systems
The best architecture is useless with a dysfunctional team. I invest in people as much as in code.
