Background
I build and deploy production backend systems: REST APIs, containerized infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability platforms. My work focuses on reliability, operational excellence, and reducing system risk through structured engineering practices.
I've shipped Go and Python services, deployed ML inference APIs behind NGINX, configured Splunk for centralized logging, and operated self-hosted Kubernetes clusters on bare-metal Linux. I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science & Software Engineering from The Evergreen State College in December 2024.
I'm currently open to Backend Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps, and Software Engineer I/II opportunities with teams focused on reliable systems, strong observability, and scalable infrastructure.
