Skills & Tools
Tools change, but architectural principles endure. I select technologies based on stability, ecosystem maturity, and performance —never hype. While I work comfortably across the full stack, my strongest contributions are in database design and backend architecture —where system behavior, data integrity, and long-term scalability are decided.
Database Design
I design databases as systems, not just storage layers.
My focus is on data models that reflect real business constraints, enforcing integrity at the database level so data remains valid even if application code fails. I prioritize transaction boundaries, indexing strategies, and predictable query behavior under load.
I work comfortably close to the metal —analyzing query plans, managing locking strategies, and writing raw SQL—while knowing exactly when to abstract complexity with an ORM. The goal is always the same: clear ownership, consistent performance, and schemas that can evolve without breaking production.
Core strengths: Relational Modeling, Transactional Integrity, Indexing Strategy, Concurrency Control, Data Migrations.

Backend Engineering
Backend engineering is my primary discipline.
I build APIs and systems where business logic lives in isolated layers, independent of frameworks. This decoupling makes systems easier to test, reason about, and scale without being locked into specific tools.
I pay strict attention to system boundaries: distinct separation between authentication and authorization, read vs. write models, and synchronous vs. asynchronous flows. Whether handling payments or modernizing legacy systems, I design backends to behave correctly under real-world conditions —handling failure states as gracefully as happy paths.
This is my chosen specialization: designing robust, production-grade systems that businesses can rely on.
Core strengths: API Design, Authentication & Authorization, Transactional Workflows, System Architecture.

Frontend Engineering
I approach frontend development with the same rigor as backend architecture.
I specialize in data-dense interfaces —admin panels, dashboards, and internal tools —where clarity and precision are paramount. Users in these environments need to understand complex data and perform precise actions without fighting the UI.
My focus is on state synchronization: robust data fetching patterns, correct error handling, and efficient cache invalidation. I design interactions where the UI is an accurate reflection of the backend state, ensuring responsiveness without becoming fragile. I build interfaces that users can trust.
Core strengths: Data-Heavy UI Design, Admin Dashboards, Structured Layouts, Predictable State Management, Clean and Maintainable Front-end Architecture.
