Software Engineer · 10+ years

Building systems from first principles. Scalability. Simplicity. Long-term thinking.

Software engineer with 10+ years designing and building scalable systems across products, domains, and geographies. I write about AWS Lambda, serverless architecture, and production backend engineering—see Practical Serverless and my serverless ebook on Lambda in production.

What drives me

Values

Continuous Learning

I grow by stepping outside my comfort zone — whether it's a new tech stack, a different domain, or a fresh cultural context. Every challenge is a chance to evolve.

Technical Excellence

Clean code, thoughtful architecture, and rigorous testing aren't optional — they're the foundation of software that lasts.

Collaborative Leadership

I believe the best engineering happens when people feel heard, supported, and challenged. I lead by growing others.

Impact Over Output

Lines of code don't matter. What matters is solving real problems, shipping reliable systems, and making users' lives better.
