I build backend systems and the interfaces that sit on top of them — mostly in Go, TypeScript, and whatever a project actually calls for.

Day to day that means designing APIs, wiring up databases and message queues, and shipping the frontend to go with it when needed. I care more about a system holding up under real usage than how it looks in a demo — most of what's below reflects that: loyalty backends, community platforms, and internal tools built to actually run.
