About

Sixteen years building distributed backend systems. At AWS I owned Lambda control-plane services that processed billions of requests weekly. At MongoDB I built internal platform APIs and tooling. Today at Remote I work on payroll processing for a global HR platform—correctness, auditability, and clear API design.
