// 01 — about

Building systems that scale,
engineered to last.

I am a backend engineer focused on building robust infrastructure, distributed microservices, and high-performance data systems. I specialize in designing backend architectures that stay fast and reliable, even under heavy concurrent workloads.

Currently, my work revolves around integrating complex APIs, optimizing database query performance, and scaling real-time transaction services. I enjoy dive-deep profiling, solving bottleneck issues, and designing systems from the ground up.
