I am a software engineer focused on distributed systems, database infrastructure, and backend platform engineering, with a strong interest in building reliable and scalable systems at the intersection of cloud-native infrastructure and low-level systems behavior.

My work spans PostgreSQL internals, Kubernetes-based architectures, observability, fault tolerance, and high-availability system design. I actively work with backend technologies in Java and Go, designing production-grade systems with a focus on resilience, performance, and operational simplicity under real-world scale and failure conditions.

Coming from a background in Physics with research experience in computational and applied scientific domains, I approach engineering through first-principles thinking and systems-level problem solving. My research interests include distributed coordination, database recovery mechanisms, storage systems, performance optimization, and the behavior of stateful systems under infrastructure instability.

I have experience building products and backend platforms from the ground up, spanning engineering, product development, and operational ownership. Alongside infrastructure engineering, I am deeply interested in open-source ecosystems, modern data systems, and understanding how complex distributed architectures behave under chaos, replication failures, and large-scale operational workloads.
