Backend & Platform Engineering | Building Resilient Systems & Teams

About

I am a backend and platform engineer with experience owning Java-based distributed systems in high-stakes, regulated environments (fintech and healthcare). My work sits at the intersection of system design, reliability, and leadership. I’ve led architecture for secure API platforms, handled live incident mitigation (including Log4Shell at scale), driven large-scale modernization efforts, and influenced senior stakeholders on technical direction. Alongside delivery, I’ve led engineers through complex change: mentoring, setting standards, and designing systems that survive pressure. I like building systems that last.
