Summary

Engineer with 9 years building web platforms end to end — from schema to pixel. Led the migration of a 40k-MAU product to a services architecture, cut p95 latency 74%, and grew a platform team from two to nine. I care about developer experience, honest metrics and shipping fast without breaking things.
