Hi! I'm a backend engineer (~8 YOE) with strong backend & DevOps experience and decent frontend skills. Looking for a backend or backend-leaning full-stack role.
I worked at Automattic (US), the company behind WordPress; fully remote, async teams across the globe.
I've been part of teams focused on speed and rapid iteration, and I've also worked on high-quality systems where long-term maintainability and reliability matter the most. I believe this mix of experience has helped me develop a good sense of where each fits best and has enabled me to adapt quickly based on context and requirements.
I've built and maintained time-sensitive, high-throughput, distributed services (millions of ops daily) and owned features and small- to mid-sized projects end-to-end from design to deployment. I do my best working autonomously, and I like to think of myself as a generalist.
Most of my career has been in large enterprises (7+ YOE), but I've also done a fair amount of freelance work (around 1 YOE) for clients.
I have a couple of small open-source projects on GitHub.
