Senior Backend Developer with 7+ years building things that actually work. I get drawn to problems with real stakes — the kind where bad decisions show up as downtime or a system that can’t grow. My day-to-day is building APIs, working through database design, and optimizing for performance before it becomes a problem. I think about architecture early, because extensibility is always cheaper when there’s still room to shape things.

I probably spend too much time on my dev environment too — custom NixOS config, Neovim and tmux built from scratch, fully keyboard-driven. Part of it is productivity, but a good chunk of it is just tinkering for the sake of it. Honestly, that’s true for most of what I do — the fun is reason enough.
