Software Engineer (Golang, JavaScript, Typescript, Node) | Building & Writing

I'm a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building high-performance web applications, scalable, data & event driven systems, distributed and real-time platforms. I enjoy turning complex ideas into simple, intuitive products. I care about how systems are structured and I write about the things I build, breaking down topics like authentication, authorization, distributed systems and system design into practical, implementation-focused guides.
