Backend systems and product experiences that hold up under pressure.
§01 // Profile
Backend Engineering / Reliability / Decision Systems
I build systems that stay readable, reliable, and useful when stakes are high.
My path runs through research and software, from cross-industry analytical work to six years building fintech infrastructure for mortgage workflows. Blitz chess, long reading sessions, and sport shaped the same operating trait I use in engineering: structured decisions under time pressure, with clarity over noise.
Operating model
Research depth, production discipline, and iterative shipping.
Research mindset, engineering rigor, and competitive execution discipline.
Ship, measure, and iterate with fast feedback cycles.
§03 // Featured project
Featured
ALRO: Autonomous Logistics and Routing Optimizer
A dual-agent logistics decision system combining deterministic route scoring with live LLM reasoning to make high-stakes dispatch choices transparent.
From README
ALRO is an AI-driven logistics decision engine that runs two independent agents in parallel, one that scores and one that reasons, and streams their deliberation live to a human operator. The result is auditable, trustworthy AI routing with a built-in fairness constraint.

§05 // Work style
How I work
I build backend-heavy products with reliability and user trust in mind.
I care about systems that are technically sound and understandable to the people relying on them. Most of my work sits at the intersection of APIs, data-driven decisions, and interfaces that make complex logic legible.
Designing backend systems with clear tradeoffs and observability.
Turning complex decision logic into interfaces users can trust.
Shipping iteratively with deployment-first engineering habits.
