About
I’m a backend and systems software engineer with ~14 years of experience, specializing in Erlang/OTP and low-level media and network programming. My work has spanned web hosting infrastructure, video streaming and WebRTC media gateways, PCI-DSS payment microservices, cloud network security, and scientific/lab software.
I care about clarity, reliability, and keeping things simple.
