CTO • Software Architect • AI & Platform Engineering • Security

I build and scale software systems across backend, infrastructure and AI domains.

Over the last 10+ years, I worked in biotech, healthcare, fintech and security —mostly focused on system architecture, platform reliability and engineering leadership.

I care less about frameworks and more about:

• how systems behave under scale and failure
• how teams actually deliver software in real world
• how to reduce complexity instead of adding it
• how AI can be used in production systems (not just demos)

I work at the intersection of:

• System Architecture – designing backend and platform systems that scale
• Infrastructure & Cloud – AWS, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD
• Security Engineering – observability, SIEM, threat modeling
• AI Engineering – RAG systems, LLM apps, assistants
• Platform Engineering – internal tooling, developer experience

• CTO of a biotech DNA analysis platform (pre and post acquisition leadership)
• Infrastructure redesign using Terraform (cost reduction, simplification)
• Backend systems in Node.js / TypeScript / Python
• Audit logging and observability systems
• AI assistant prototypes for domain specific knowledge systems (RAG based)
• Reverse engineering and low level system analysis work
• Developer tooling and internal frameworks

• AI assisted engineering systems (RAG, agents, eval driven design)
• Platform reliability and observability
• Security first system design
• Reducing complexity in distributed systems
• Building tools that improve developer velocity

“If system cannot be understood, it cannot be maintained.”

I optimize for:

• clarity over cleverness
• ownership over abstraction
• observability over guessing
• simplicity over scaling complexity

• Node.js / TypeScript / Python
• AWS / Terraform / Docker / CI/CD
• PostgreSQL / Redis / event driven systems
• Observability and security tooling
• LLMs / embeddings / vector search / RAG pipelines
