About me

With 20 years of hands-on experience in software engineering, I've built my career architecting and delivering high-load systems that serve millions of users. My expertise spans from individual contributor roles to technical leadership positions, where I've guided teams through complex migrations, security hardening, and platform modernization.

I specialize in turning ambitious technical visions into reality. Whether you're scaling a monolith to microservices, optimizing performance bottlenecks, or establishing engineering best practices, I bring pragmatic solutions backed by real-world experience in demanding production environments.

How I Can Help

I offer flexible, part-time consultation services tailored to your team's needs. Whether you need strategic guidance, hands-on architecture reviews, or technical mentorship, I provide practical solutions that drive measurable results.

System Design & Architecture

Designing robust, scalable, and maintainable microservices architectures. I can help you review your current design, plan for future growth, or architect a new system from the ground up with proven patterns and anti-patterns.

Technical Strategy & Code Review

Providing in-depth code reviews to improve quality, performance, and maintainability. I also assist in defining tech roadmaps, choosing the right technology stack, and establishing best practices that scale with your organization.

Team Leadership & Mentoring

Offering guidance and mentorship to your engineering team, helping to upskill developers and improve team velocity and processes. I focus on building sustainable practices that outlast any single engagement.

Ideal Engagements

I work best with teams and organizations that value quality, strategic thinking, and sustainable engineering practices. Here are the scenarios where I can deliver the most value.

Growing Startups

You're scaling fast and need senior-level expertise to avoid technical debt and architectural mistakes that could slow growth later.

Team Augmentation

Your engineering team needs senior-level guidance, mentorship, or an extra pair of experienced hands for critical projects.

Platform Modernization

Your legacy system needs refactoring or migration to modern architecture, and you need someone who's done it before successfully.

Security & Performance

You're facing performance bottlenecks, security concerns, or need to prepare for compliance audits and require expert assessment.
