ABOUT ME

I build software that stays fast under load, with a focus on high concurrency and asynchronous architecture.

I take complex requirements and turn them into efficient, reliable software, favoring clean, maintainable code and workflows that stay fast and sane as products and traffic grow.

Off the clock you will usually find me pulling in gacha games, grinding video games, or catching up on anime. The summon card on the right is my honest nod to that side of me, with the stacks I actually ship in production.
