01  /  Profile

I build the parts of software that have to hold up — the architecture under load, the latency budget nobody else wants to fight for, the migration that can't take the site down.

Three teams, one constant: I ship systems that stay fast when they get popular.

  • 2+yrs shipping
  • 35%perf gain
  • 10s→2slatency cut
  • 0msdowntime on migration

05  /  Off the Clock

Off the screen, I'm chasing the same thing — controlled output under load.

01Combat sports

MMA

Wrestling × Muay Thai

Wrestling for control, Muay Thai for timing. Both reward what good engineering does — composure when the pressure spikes and the plan meets reality.

02Strength & hypertrophy

Iron

Powerlifting × Bodybuilding

Progressive overload is a deploy pipeline for the body: small, measured increments, logged and repeated until the numbers move. Powerlifting builds the base; bodybuilding shapes it.

SquatBenchDeadliftHypertrophy

Same operating principle everywhere — show up, measure, overload, recover, repeat.
