Senior Software Engineer (Backend & Distributed Systems)

About

I’m a backend-focused software engineer building distributed systems for high-throughput products. At Porter, I work on backend systems for logistics workflows such as order allocation, batching, pricing, and serviceability. My work spans system design, data modeling, backend development, and cloud-native infrastructure. I’ve built backend platforms from scratch, contributed to large-scale AWS to GCP migration efforts across 25+ microservices, and worked on systems such as dynamic pricing, allocation, and batching. I enjoy working close to production, where reliability, performance, and correctness matter most. A big part of my experience has been owning systems end to end, from design and rollout to incident response and production stability. I also value pragmatic engineering — designing APIs and backend systems that work well across real product constraints. I’m especially interested in backend engineering, distributed systems, and building reliable systems at scale.
