Full stack & platforms

Overview

I design platforms that stay understandable as they grow: clear service boundaries, predictable data flows, and APIs that other teams can build on without constant hand-holding.

Typical engagements

• GraphQL and REST APIs with auth, rate limits, and stable schemas.
• Realtime surfaces (dashboards, ops tools) with WebSockets or polling where appropriate.
• Postgres and Redis used intentionally — not as default answers.
• Front-end architecture that scales with design systems and performance budgets.

How I work

• Optimize for change: small deployable units, feature flags where it helps.
• Instrument early: traces from UI → API → DB.
• Balance build vs buy with total cost of ownership, not slide decks.
