Backend Systems & AI Engineering
8+ Years Experience
Linux | macOS
MSc in Cybersecurity
AI-First Builder
With 8+ years of industry experience across startups and enterprise platforms, I build high-scale distributed backend systems and reliable architectures for the agentic era. Focused on bridging scalable data pipelines with autonomous AI agents, transactional write safety, and runtime security.
Systems & Project Types
[Backend Systems & Platforms]
Designing scalable microservices, distributed queues, and resilient API architectures (100K+ RPM, 99.99%+ SLA) using Node.js, Python, and Go on Kubernetes and cloud platforms.
[Autonomous Agents & Transactions]
Building stateful agentic workflows for the agentic era. Focusing on scoped agent identity, execution boundaries, blast-radius containment, and mitigating Confused Deputy risks and indirect prompt injection in autonomous tool executions.
[LLM Evaluation & Observability]
Implementing automated model evaluation suites, distributed telemetry, prompt injection defense, and latency/cost-optimized model routing in production.
[Security & Data Privacy]
MSc in Cybersecurity background. Ensuring zero-trust service communication, auditability, data privacy, and enterprise regulatory compliance (GDPR, ISO 27000) across backend and AI layers.
Things I Like & Engineering Philosophy
- Deterministic Boundaries in AI Workflows: Enforcing clear, predictable system constraints, evaluation gates, and safe guardrails around probabilistic models.
- Graceful Failure & Resilience: Architectures designed to fail closed, degrade gracefully, and stay reliable under heavy production load.
- Mission-Driven Operational Support: Whatever the objective is, getting the job done. Providing cross-functional operational support across backend, data, and infrastructure to hit the team's target cleanly.
- AI-First Workflow: Using autonomous agents, LLMs, and modern developer tooling as everyday force multipliers to build and iterate faster.
- Fixing Things: I enjoy repairing broken things, understanding how electronics and mechanics work, and clearing small obstacles that get in the way.
