I'm a backend engineer working mostly in Rust and Go, with 10 years of full-stack experience behind it. I build APIs, CLI tools, and edge backends on Cloudflare Workers, and I add AI features to existing products. I still write React and Next.js when a project needs the whole thing built, which means I know how backend decisions show up in the UI.

10 Years of Experience

20+ Certifications across AWS, Google Cloud, Meta, and Intel

30+ Google Skill Badges validating applied, hands-on expertise
