Senior Backend Engineer · PHP · Python · Golang · Kubernetes · DevOps
I'm a Senior Backend Engineer with 5+ years building and operating distributed systems at scale. Currently Team Lead at Internetbrands — owning architecture, mentoring engineers, and partnering with product to ship things that matter.
I care about writing systems that are fast, observable, and easy to reason about. I also build internal tools that help my team move faster — including an AI-powered codebase intelligence engine that lets engineers query unfamiliar codebases in natural language.
Open source contributor to CNCF OpenFeature PHP-SDK and technical writer on Linux and backend engineering.
