Not just an engineer.
A builder with taste.
I started writing Android apps in 2012, back when smartphones were still surprising people. Over 13 years, I've crossed every frontier: iOS, React Native, full-stack web, and now Python-powered AI systems built for production.
Most backend engineers have never led a mobile product from zero to production. I've done it across five platforms. That changes how you build. You stop theorizing about failure modes and start designing around them. Edge cases stop being hypothetical when you've lived through a 3am production incident.
Today I architect LLM-powered backends, RAG pipelines, and semantic search systems using Python, FastAPI, and OpenAI/Azure OpenAI APIs. The decade on mobile gave me something most backend engineers never develop: genuine user instinct. I build for the person on the other end, not just the spec.
Performance is a feature
Fast, scalable, and fault-tolerant by design, not by accident. I've seen what happens when systems aren't built that way.
AI as core, not garnish
I build systems where LLMs do real work: RAG pipelines, intelligent APIs, semantic search. Not chatbot wrappers slapped onto existing products.
User instinct from mobile
13 years shipping to real users gives you a lens most backend engineers never get. I never forgot who's on the other end of the API.
Honest evolution
Android in 2012. RAG pipelines in 2025. I go deep on what's next but I don't abandon what still works.
