2022 — NowIn progress

Senior Backend Engineer · Mossbyte

Lead a fleet of Kotlin + Ktor services handling ~40k req/s. Drove an event-sourced rewrite that cut p99 latency by 38% and made on-call boring again.

2019 — 2022Completed

Backend Engineer · Toritron

Built event-driven Java + Kafka pipelines for a payments platform. Owned reconciliation, idempotency, and the quiet correctness nobody notices when it works.

2017 — 2019Completed

Software Engineer · Hinoki Labs

Shipped Spring Boot APIs and stood up the team's first real CI/CD. Where I learned that good infrastructure is mostly patience.
