## About

I build reliable systems and lead teams that ship.

I build high-performance backend systems and user-friendly products that are well tested, observable, and resilient. My work covers real-time APIs, scalable data systems, cloud automation, and AI-integrated applications, with a focus on dependable uptime and clear delivery.

### Systems and team impact

- 10x fewer manual touchpoints through workflow automation
- 4x lower operating cost through better system orchestration
- 2x faster processing for the workloads that matter

Great systems come from teams with clarity, trust, and room to own the work.

## Focus areas

### Applied Generative AI

Building RAG systems, AI agents, tool-calling workflows, and LLM-powered product features.

### Backend platforms and APIs

Designing reliable APIs, async workflows, integrations, and cloud infrastructure for growing products.

### Healthcare and genomics software

Turning complex scientific and clinical data into practical software, reports, and decision-support tools.
