Building resilient, real-time
systems with clarity and intent.
I design distributed systems, craft custom protocols, and ship production-grade real-time infrastructure. Want to learn more about my experience?
About
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 9 years of experience building distributed systems, backend platforms, and real-time infrastructure.
I work across the full system, from data models and APIs to deployment, observability, performance testing, and documentation. Recent work includes a multitenant accounting service, a Python/FastAPI performance redesign, and the real-time platform I am currently building.

On the Topic of Making Simple Useful Things (A Distributed Counter)
Counting things across multiple servers sounds trivial. It is not. A walkthrough of the design space for distributed counters, from atomic Redis scripts to per instance tracking with automatic cleanup of dead instances, and the Rust crate I built to handle all of it.

Why I Built Trypema: Rate Limiting, Rust, and One Stubborn Problem
The story behind Trypema, a Rust rate limiting library I built while solving a real problem, and how I ended up creating a hybrid provider nobody asked for.
