About

I build production-grade software systems with a focus on performance and reliability, backend architecture and developer tooling. I’m the founder of watchdock.cc, a monitoring and error tracking platform built to reduce signal noise and simplify observability for modern SaaS teams. My interests lie in distributed systems, infrastructure and tools that improve developer productivity.I enjoy owning systems end-to-end, from architecture and APIs to deployment and scaling.
