About

Backend engineer building production systems in Python — APIs, data pipelines, and automation that run reliably at scale. At Pkeday Investments, I design and ship data collection pipelines and automation tools using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and GCP. The system surfaces 200+ investment targets monthly and cut research time by 40%. I write tests that matter — Pytest, Playwright e2e, CI/CD — because production code needs to survive without someone watching it. Previously at Goodworklabs, I handled DevOps infrastructure: Docker, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, cloud cost optimization on GCP. Got infra spend down 40% through automated scaling and right-sizing deployments. On the side, I build LLM applications and AI agents using LangChain, Gemini, and MCP servers. Interested in the overlap between backend engineering and AI tooling — specifically developer tools, agentic systems, and API-first products.
