👨‍💻 About Me

I engineer distributed systems optimized for reliability, performance, and long-term scalability. My systems self-regulate under stress—deployments, caching, and monitoring pipelines all work together to maintain uptime and precision.

Core Expertise:

  • System Architecture — scalable microservices and infrastructure.
  • Backend Engineering — resilient APIs and pipelines (Node.js/TypeScript).
  • DevOps & Cloud — CI/CD, IaC (Terraform), orchestration (AWS/K8s).
  • Performance Optimization — tuning for throughput, latency, caching.
  • Security & Observability — integrated security and real-time insight.

Domains Served:

  • Digital Media Networks
  • E-Commerce Platforms
  • Service-Driven Ecosystems

Select Projects:

  • BEGENONE – High-volume media social network.
  • WeReform – Modular SaaS + infra automation.
  • RotFalken – E-commerce operational transformation.
  • Global Vaddo – Nonprofit platform modernization.

Principle: Eliminate fragility, automate recovery, and let the system prove resilience through data—not assumptions.

🧩 Note on Projects, Languages & Tools

A significant portion of my engineering work resides in private repositories due to client/project confidentiality, system sensitivity, and ongoing R&D.

What’s public here provides a glimpse into my broader engineering scope — focused on full-stack, DevOps, and systems design.

My core production stack revolves around:

  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • React · React Native · Node.js
  • Cloud Infrastructure (AWS · Docker · Kubernetes · Terraform)

I also maintain working proficiency in lower-level and enterprise ecosystems to strengthen my systems understanding:

  • Java & Spring Boot — for backend architecture and microservices patterns.
  • C & C++ — for systems-level insights and performance-critical modules.
  • C# & .NET Core — for service-driven backend and desktop integrations.
  • Rust — for exploring memory safety, concurrency, and performance.

While not yet advanced in these languages, I use them to deepen my understanding of runtime behavior, memory models, and system optimization.
Over time, I aim to bridge these ecosystems with my full-stack and cloud expertise.

🧭 How I Work

⚙️ Principles & Development Approach

  • Problem-First Mindset
    Every project starts with why. I define the problem, business value, and tradeoffs before a single line of code is written.

  • SDLC Grounded in Reality
    While I follow standard phases — Requirements → Design → Development → Testing → Deployment → Maintenance — I adapt them per project scope.
    No ceremony for the sake of process. Just enough structure to deliver with clarity.

  • Build for Change, Not Perfection
    Code is expected to evolve. I prioritize readability, testability, and modularity over over-engineering.

  • Feedback-Centric Delivery
    Iteration is baked in. I ship early, demo often, and course-correct with real user insights.

  • Visibility as a Feature
    Logs, metrics, traces, and alerts are part of the product. I build with observability from day one.

  • Performance and Cost Consciousness
    Scale thoughtfully. I assess cost implications early — infra, latency, dev hours — and design accordingly.

  • Security Isn’t an Afterthought
    Threat modeling, secrets hygiene, and secure defaults are integrated across the lifecycle.

  • Tools Support Process, Not Vice Versa
    I don’t force tools into workflows. Git, CI/CD, task tracking, and review processes are shaped to accelerate delivery — not slow it down.
