Senior software engineer and tech lead with a background in web and cloud development.
I work mainly on fullstack web systems running in the cloud, and I spend a lot of my time balancing hands-on development with technical leadership.
As a tech lead, I focus on:
- Leading technical work across projects and teams
- Turning product requirements into clear technical plans
- Making and documenting architectural tradeoffs
- Keeping delivery predictable by reducing risk early
- Reviewing code and designs with long-term maintainability in mind
- Mentoring engineers and helping them grow in ownership and decision-making
I care about clarity, follow-through, and building systems teams can actually live with.
My hands-on background is primarily in:
- Designing and building web APIs and backend services
- Working with distributed systems and service-oriented architectures
- Supporting systems in production and dealing with real-world failure modes
- Developing and operating systems on AWS or other cloud platforms
- Integrating cloud services with application-level concerns
I’m comfortable moving between implementation, design, and operational discussions.
I’ve been building practical knowledge in application and cloud security to improve architectural decisions and reviews.
This includes:
- Common web application vulnerabilities
- Authentication and session handling
- Server-side and client-side security issues
- AWS security fundamentals (IAM, networking, threat modeling)
The intent is to design systems that are harder to break and easier to operate.
Current areas of practice:
- Web application security labs
- Cloud security scenarios
- DevSecOps fundamentals
In progress:
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
- Burp Suite Certified Practitioner
- Java / Kotlin
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- REST APIs, distributed systems
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- CI/CD
I like working on teams that value ownership, steady delivery, and pragmatic engineering.
