Beyond the Resume
I'm always curious about how software works beyond the code, from system design and distributed systems to developer tools and AI. I like experimenting with ideas, building small projects, and turning what I learn into something useful.
What I work with
Only the technologies that are genuinely relevant, not an exhaustive keyword list.
Categories of work
Developer tools
Small utilities that remove a specific piece of daily friction, usually built because I needed it myself first.
Backend systems
Low-latency, event-driven services focused on correctness and resilience under real production load.
AI-powered applications
Finding the narrow, concrete places where an LLM genuinely improves a workflow, like summarizing and triaging application logs.
Personal products & experiments
Smaller side builds used to learn a new part of the stack or test an idea quickly.
What's on my mind lately
A high-level view, not a day-to-day list, grounded in what I'm actually building and studying.
