Sr. Backend Engineer — building distributed systems, microservices, and AI-driven automation. This is my corner of the internet: notes, ideas, and things I'm learning.
Available for consulting & interesting problems
01 — about
I'm a backend engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of distributed systems, clean architecture, and developer tooling. I've spent years designing APIs and services that hold up under pressure.
Lately I've been deep in the world of AI agents — building intelligent automation components using LangGraph and FastAPI that can reason, plan, and act autonomously.
This digital garden is where I tend to my thinking. Rough drafts are welcome, ideas cross-pollinate, and everything is perpetually a work-in-progress.

02 — the garden
Seedlings
Half-formed thoughts, quick notes, and ideas that just sprouted. Messy and incomplete on purpose.
// rough drafts
Growing
Notes that are developing — architecture deep dives, Go patterns, AI agent experiments.
// in progress
Evergreen
Polished, long-form pieces I stand behind. System design, learnings, and engineering philosophy.
// mature notes
Systems
Distributed systems, microservices, gRPC, Docker — the backend plumbing I think about daily.
// infra & arch
AI & Agents
Explorations with LangGraph, FastAPI agents, and building systems that can reason and act.
// llm experiments
Reading Log
Books, papers, and articles that shaped how I think. Annotated and cross-linked.
