About Me

Backend engineer. Mad scientist. I write backend code and occasionally understand why it works.

Right now I'm:

  • Rescuing old projects from half-finished purgatory - docs, real deployments, the works
  • Going deep on Go and Node instead of wide
  • Exploring stuff to apply and deepen GCP, K8s and AWS knowledge
  • Learning how to build reliable systems instead of ones that just work today
  • Considering some of that open source sorcery stuff

Selected Projects

qwizza — Real-time quiz platform in Node.js. Raw WebSockets instead of Socket.io to cut protocol overhead, Redis Sorted Sets for millisecond-level tie-breaking. 🔗 Live demo

dns_pihole — A DNS proxy and ad-blocker written from scratch in Go, built to understand protocol internals: concurrent UDP query handling, session-aware filtering, and wildcard subdomain matching.

vuetube — Video streaming backend implementing DASH-style chunking with Go, sqlc, ffmpeg, and S3.

rong — A circular reimagining of Pong with a real-time Go/Redis leaderboard backend.
