About

A bit about who I am and what I do.

A Computer Science graduate with strong expertise in Cloud Computing, Network Engineering, and Backend Development, specializing in Go and TypeScript. Proven track record of architecting and maintaining high-traffic public services handling over 400,000+ active users weekly. Experienced in managing multi-cloud environments and optimizing server infrastructure for scalability and cost-efficiency.

I thrive on building systems that are both performant and maintainable. From designing custom DNS infrastructure handling over 100 million requests to orchestrating multi-cloud deployments spanning AWS, GCP, and bare-metal, I bring a deep understanding of the full stack—from kernel scheduling to API design.
