Backend Engineer at EPYC | Building distributed systems, compilers, and everything in between
I'm passionate about backend engineering, distributed systems, and systems programming. When I'm not shipping production code, I'm probably implementing a consensus algorithm or building a programming language for fun.

Backend Engineer @ EPYC | Current
Delivering production systems for clients across scheduling, fintech, and funding platforms. Here's what I've built:
Built a robust appointment booking platform connecting users with industry experts.
Highlights:
- Zero double bookings through proper concurrency control
- Integrated Razorpay with duplicate payment prevention
- Google Calendar sync to avoid conflicts
- Custom mentor availability management
TypeScript React Router v7 Cloudflare Workers PostgreSQL
Enterprise credits management system for airline employee uniform purchases.
Highlights:
- Balances never go negative - handled every concurrency edge case
- Accurate accounting across refunds, cancellations, and returns
- Custom tax software integration for precise sales tax
- Analytics dashboards for vendors and airline management
TypeScript Next.js Cloudflare Workers PostgreSQL
Collaboration platform connecting founders with investors.
Highlights:
- Application reconciliation across Algolia + multiple internal APIs
- Fault-tolerant architecture - graceful degradation when APIs fail
- Duplicate detection and missing application recovery

- Built bulk Slack DM system sending 10,000+ messages with rate limit handling (Bull queue)
- Decomposed monolith → microservices, slashing memory/CPU usage during high job loads
- Developed Stripe payment gateway for events platform
- Migrated services Digital Ocean → AWS, improving performance
- Created dev environment CLI: setup time from 2+ days → minutes
- Led JS → JSDoc migration: fewer runtime errors, zero delivery slowdown
I build things to understand how they work - from consensus algorithms to compilers.
Fast fuzzy string search using finite automata - 10,727 queries/sec on 370K-word dictionary.
Performance: 38% faster than runtime construction at distance 3
Approach: Precomputed DFA + Trie-based dictionary
Language: Kotlin
7 implementation versions (v1-v7) showing progressive optimizations from the Schulz & Mihov paper.
Raft consensus algorithm implementation with formal verification before a single line of code.
Verification: P-lang model checking
Approach: Minimal mutex usage for performance
Language: Go

Network programming challenges: TCP/UDP servers, custom protocols, and everything low-level.
7 Challenges Solved:
- Custom LRCP protocol (UDP + acks + retransmission)
- Binary TCP protocol for speed cameras
- TCP proxy with address rewriting
- Multi-user chat server
- Asset tracking with binary protocol + SQLite
- And more...

Completed 6 challenges: Echo • Unique ID Generation • Single/Multi-Node Broadcast • Fault-Tolerant Broadcast • Efficient Broadcast
When I want to learn a concept deeply, I prefer challenges with clear constraints over building full projects.
Path Finder • GitHub Pathfinding algorithm visualizer - one of my first projects.
slate-devtools • GitHub Debugging tools for Slate.js rich text editor. Built while cloning Notion as a beginner.
Building systems, one abstraction at a time.
