About

Good software is mostly invisible. It just works — quietly, reliably, without drama. That's what I try to build. I spent the last two years as the only backend engineer at a production studio, building systems from zero that now handle real operational load. Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, Celery — not as buzzwords, but as daily tools I know well enough to know their failure modes. The VFX world taught me that every pipeline is a unique problem. Nothing off-the-shelf fits perfectly. You learn to think from first principles, move fast without breaking what's already running, and care deeply about the humans using what you build. I'm looking for teams where backend craft matters — internal tools, developer platforms, automation systems. Places where someone who can own the whole thing is actually useful.
