About

Distributed systems engineer with over 7 years of experience building fault-tolerant backend infrastructure, real-time networking layers, and scalable multiplayer systems. Currently working at MetaGravity, where I’m scaling Unreal Engine networking to support thousands of concurrent players using custom net drivers and low-latency replication protocols. I’m also the creator of CreekDB, a distributed key-value store with WAL crash recovery, quorum-based consistency, and upcoming support for consistent hashing and dynamic scaling. Deeply motivated by challenging systems problems, I specialize in building infrastructure from scratch, not maintaining it. I thrive in high-scale, failure-sensitive environments and love working async with high-trust, high-standards teams.
