Hi! I'm a backend engineer with strong DevOps experience and mid-level frontend skills. Looking for a backend or backend-leaning full-stack role.

I worked at Automattic, the company behind WordPress; fully remote, async teams across the globe.

Clean coder, impact-driven, generalist, autonomous. Known for writing scalable, maintainable code with good test coverage. I've built and maintained time-sensitive, high-throughput, distributed services (millions of ops daily) and owned features and small- to mid-sized projects end-to-end from design to deployment.

Most of my career has been in large enterprises (7+ YOE), but I’ve also done a fair amount of freelance work (around 1 YOE) for clients.

I have a couple of small open-source projects on GitHub.
