About

I design and lead the development of reliable backend systems that solve real business problems. My background is in backend engineering — primarily with Go — where I've built scalable internal platforms, coordinated small teams, and shaped architectures focused on efficiency and clarity.

Domain Expertise

Most of my work has been in crypto and finance, where precision and data integrity are non-negotiable. Over time, I've grown from individual contributor to someone who aligns technical direction with business outcomes — designing systems that scale and teams that work well together.

AI & Innovation

My current focus also includes integrating AI systems into everyday engineering workflows. I work hands-on with coding agents and large language models to accelerate design, refactoring, and analysis tasks — exploring where human reasoning meets automated insight. I also integrate LLM APIs into my research tools — including DeepSeek and Perplexity — to build intelligent digests and cross-source analyses from diverse information streams.

Engineering Philosophy

I care about the craft of engineering: clear interfaces, predictable behavior, and maintainable systems. My process is iterative — understand, design, refine, repeat.

Technologies

I work primarily with Go for backend systems and distributed services, alongside PostgreSQL, gRPC, and modern infrastructure tools. My technical background includes extensive experience with blockchain integrations and high-reliability systems.
