// Hello, I'm
Backend & Infrastructure Engineer — I build scalable systems that handle real-world load.
I specialize in designing and operating high-performance backend systems and the Kubernetes-based infrastructure that keeps them running under real production pressure.
From orchestrating microservices to implementing observability pipelines, I focus on the kind of engineering that shows up in uptime graphs, not slide decks. Every system I touch is built to be debuggable, scalable, and production-ready.
Measurable results from real production systems.
Engineered a URL shortener built to sustain heavy write throughput with consistent low-latency reads under load.
Designed event-driven pipelines with RabbitMQ to decouple services and guarantee reliable message delivery at scale.
Built a unified authentication layer supporting multiple identity providers with seamless token federation.
Deployed and tuned Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki for full-stack observability across distributed services.
Systems designed for throughput, resilience, and clarity.
A URL shortening service designed from the ground up for high write throughput and predictable read latency, even under sustained load.
A custom KrakenD plugin enabling seamless authentication across multiple identity providers with dynamic token validation and routing.
Technologies I use to build and operate production systems.
Design for scale from day one.
Optimize for real-world traffic, not demos.
Infrastructure is part of the product.
