01 Selected work

Case studies, not GitHub stars.

Most production work lives in private repos. These are the systems I designed, owned, or rebuilt — with the constraints, decisions, and outcomes that shaped them.

02 Experience

Five companies. One throughline: backends that hold up.

    03 Stack

    Tools I reach for, in the order I reach for them.

    04 Writing

    Notes from production.

    Short pieces on JVM performance, AI-assisted code review, and operating high-throughput services. New posts land here.
