I build backend and platform systems where failures are expensive, behavior must be deterministic, and every decision must be explainable.

My focus is on long-lived, infrastructure-heavy systems operating under strict constraints: security, auditability, offline environments, and real-world protocol complexity.

• Backend systems with explicit state machines and well-defined failure semantics
• Infrastructure where reproducibility and auditability are first-class requirements
• Platforms that must operate without internet access or external dependencies
• Systems where observability is designed before the first incident
• Tooling that reduces operational and cognitive load over time

• Correctness over cleverness
• Determinism over hidden state
• Operational clarity over theoretical elegance
• Explainability over magic
• Long-term maintainability over short-term wins

• Go, Python, Rust
• REST, gRPC, WebSockets
• SOAP / WS-*, ONVIF, RTSP
• Distributed systems & protocol handling
• Event-driven architectures
• Deterministic & audit-ready backend design
• Clean Architecture, pragmatic DDD
• Backend systems running on constrained and embedded environments

• PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
• Redis
• Kafka, RabbitMQ
• Consistency models & failure semantics

• Linux (production operations)
• Docker, Docker Compose
• Kubernetes
• Helm, Kustomize
• Terraform
• CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
• Hermetic & reproducible builds
• Air-gapped & offline deployments

• Prometheus, Grafana
• OpenTelemetry
• Metrics, tracing, structured logs
• Incident-driven debugging

• TLS / DTLS
• Secure transport design
• Authentication & authorization
• OIDC / JWT
• Policy enforcement

Oct 2023 – Oct 2025

• Designed and implemented backend services in Go for protocol- and infrastructure-heavy systems.
• Built systems with strict requirements for correctness, reliability, and fault tolerance.
• Implemented protocol-level integrations (ONVIF, RTSP, secure transport), handling real-world edge cases.
• Developed backend components and system logic deployed directly onto microcontroller-based platforms.
• Integrated backend services with microcontrollers, hardware devices, and external systems, operating under real-world I/O, latency, and failure constraints.
• Owned systems end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, and operational support.
• Improved observability and debuggability through metrics, structured logging, and tracing.

Aug 2024 – Jun 2025

• Designed and implemented backend services for research and applied systems.
• Built an end-to-end audio processing and classification system, from data ingestion to execution and evaluation.
• Developed backend components and processing logic deployed directly onto microcontroller-based platforms.
• Built ML infrastructure and data-processing systems for training, experimentation, and evaluation.
• Integrated software with hardware devices, microcontrollers, and external systems, handling real-world constraints.
• Developed research prototypes and automated laboratory workflows.
• Prepared datasets and built automation tooling for data collection, preprocessing, and validation.
