I build platform systems that help engineers move faster and operate safely.

I’m a software engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area focused on backend architecture, developer productivity, reliability, and AI-assisted engineering. My work sits at the intersection of large production systems, internal tooling, and the engineering practices that let teams move with confidence.

Focus

The kinds of problems I like working on

Platform architecture

Modernizing large backend systems, reducing operational risk, and turning fragile paths into reliable, well-reviewed platform foundations.

Developer productivity

Improving testing strategy, CI feedback loops, code ownership, coverage visibility, and internal workflows so teams can ship faster with less friction.

Reliability & operations

Building deployment safety, observability, runbooks, incident follow-through, and production debugging practices into the way engineering teams work.

AI-assisted engineering

Exploring coding-agent workflows, reusable agent skills, guardrails, and review patterns that make AI useful on real production codebases.

Now

What I’m exploring

I’m especially interested in the next generation of developer tools: agentic coding systems, evaluation loops, AI-native internal platforms, and the infrastructure that lets software teams use automation without losing trust, context, or engineering judgment.
