[ ]Backend Engineer
I build the systems that hold everything together —
now teaching them to think.
[ 01 ]About
I work on backend systems. APIs, queues, databases — the bits that have to keep working when nobody's watching. Right now I'm learning my way into AI and ML, which has been humbling in roughly the way you'd expect.
I'm quiet until you ask the right question. Distributed systems, why anything works, how things break — once we're there, I'll happily lose track of time.
Current setup
nvim + tmux + lazygit + zsh. If it doesn't have a terminal interface, I'm suspicious of it.
Currently exploring
Off the clock
Marvel. DC. Every animated film ever made. Dad jokes — the worse, the better.
Operating principle
Perfectionist. Lazy about it. The combination somehow always works.

Open to backend roles, AI/ML adjacent work, interesting problems, conversations about systems, AI, conversations that don't start with “circle back,” or why Neovim is still relevant in 2026. (It is.)
