00 Platform engineer / NYC

I build the systems
behind the software.

Backend engineer turned platform engineer. I design APIs, infrastructure, and developer platforms that stay understandable under pressure.

01 / About

The whole system matters.

I started close to the product—building backend services and APIs. Over time, I became more interested in everything required to ship them well.

Today I work across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, delivery systems, and developer tooling. I care about platforms that are observable, understandable, and calm to operate when the pressure is on.

I’m based in New York. Away from a terminal, I’m usually lifting, playing guitar, taking photos, or training Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Featured project / 001

NERV / Bare-metal lab

NERV

Built to be operated.
Not babysat.

NERV is the infrastructure lab where I design, deploy, break, and improve the systems behind production software.

Built from scratch on bare metal, the platform brings cluster architecture, networking, continuous delivery, observability, and day-two operations into one working system.

03 / Experience

From product code
to platform thinking.

A career spent moving outward—from individual features to the systems, tools, and infrastructure that help entire teams deliver them.
