About

I'm a software engineer who builds products, not just services. I work where infrastructure decisions and product decisions are the same decision. What a user experiences as "it just works" is usually an architecture choice made months earlier.

Most of what I build is event-driven. Services that take in a stream of events, do something useful with each one, and hand it off without losing anything along the way. In practice that's Kafka and NATS for the streaming, Django and FastAPI for the services, and a lot of thinking about what happens when a downstream integration goes quiet at 2am.

I build multi-agent systems on LangGraph too, which turns out to be the same problem wearing a different hat. An agent workflow is a pipeline with state, retries, and failure modes: it holds up or falls over for the same reasons a message pipeline does.

I'm most useful early, while the shape of the product is still being decided. Here's my resume.

Work Experience

Engineered and maintaining a Kafka-based algorithmic trading SaaS that distributes real-time trade signals across multiple brokers โ€” powered by Django, FastAPI, Celery, and Redis across PostgreSQL-backed microservices on Linux infrastructure.
