About

I’m a software engineer with a strong background in large-scale backend systems, security, and applied machine learning. I enjoy working close to real-world problems: reliability, abuse prevention, identity, data pipelines, and products that operate at scale.

I currently work at a global software company, where I contribute to core identity and security platforms used by millions of users worldwide. My work spans system design, backend development, and ML-driven features, with a strong focus on correctness, availability, and long-term maintainability.

Skills & Focus

Backend & Distributed Systems: designing and building scalable, multi-region services; APIs; data consistency; fault tolerance; and performance optimization.

Machine Learning (applied): feature engineering, classical ML and neural models, inference pipelines, and using ML pragmatically to reduce friction and automate decisions.

Engineering Craft: system design, architecture proposals, code reviews, debugging complex production issues, and collaborating across product, security, and operations teams.
