❦ summary
Backend-focused engineer with eight years building reliable distributed systems in Go and Rust. I gravitate toward the parts of a stack where correctness is non-negotiable — queues, storage engines, sync protocols. Currently open to staff and senior backend roles where the work is technically demanding and the team is small enough to actually ship.
❦ experience
Staff Engineer, Lattice Inc. 2023–present
- Designed and shipped the distributed object store backing internal analytics — handles ~2 TB/day ingest with sub-200ms p99 reads.
- Led a 14-month migration away from a third-party blob store, reducing storage costs by ~40% and eliminating a critical external dependency.
- Mentored three engineers to senior level; established the on-call rotation and playbook for the storage org.
Senior Engineer, Quicksilver Labs 2021–2023
- Built a high-throughput job queue in Rust with strict FIFO ordering guarantees for financial transaction processing.
- Replaced a brittle cron-based scheduling system; zero missed jobs across 18 months of production at 50k jobs/day.
Software Engineer, Hearth 2018–2021
- Core contributor to the notification delivery platform — owned the pipeline from event ingestion to multi-channel fan-out.
- Migrated the primary data store from MongoDB to Postgres without downtime; reduced query latency by 3×.
