## Headline

SDE\-2 @SaaS Labs \| Backend Engineer \| Distributed Systems & Data Infra \| Node\.js, Kubernetes, ClickHouse \| Building fault\-tolerant systems at scale

## About

Backend engineer \(SDE\-II\) with 3\+ years building distributed systems that handle hundreds of thousands of daily transactions in production\. I specialize in the hard parts of scale: data consistency, real\-time sync, and system reliability under load\. Recent work includes rebuilding our on\-call platform on CQRS architecture \(cutting request fan\-out and P99 latency significantly\), building a fault\-tolerant MySQL\-to\-ClickHouse sync pipeline running at 99\.99% consistency, and shipping an abuse\-detection system that cut infra costs by \~$5K/month\. Core stack: Node\.js \(NestJS\), MySQL, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, Google Pub/Sub, BullMQ, GCP\. I care about ownership — from system design through on\-call — and enjoy mentoring engineers on writing code that's built to survive production, not just pass review\.
