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.
