Engineering Leader · Platform Architect · Systems Thinker
Engineering leader and platform architect with 13+ years shipping enterprise systems at scale. I lead teams that build on ServiceNow, design Go backend infrastructure, and solve the kind of problems that sit at the intersection of platform engineering and distributed systems. When I'm not leading delivery, I'm usually somewhere deep in the stack — tracing through jq's parser internals, writing OS kernels from scratch, or designing event-driven architectures.
I've architected MCP protocol servers for AI-agent integration, built lightweight MID server replacements, designed full-stack onboarding platforms with chaos engineering baked in, and led cross-functional teams through complex platform migrations. I think in systems, ship in Go, and believe the best architecture decisions come from understanding the machine all the way down.
Architected an MCP protocol server enabling AI-agent integration with ServiceNow. Designed a lightweight MID server replacement with ECC queue proxy, eliminating vendor lock-in. Led custom UI component development and enterprise workflow automation at scale.
Designed event-driven microservice architectures and binary protocol layers. Built OS kernels (MIT 6.828), implemented string search algorithms in Zig, and explored C++ template metaprogramming through MIPT coursework. Systems thinking applied end-to-end.
Established load testing frameworks (Gatling, k6, Artillery) and chaos engineering practices for production readiness. Drove container orchestration strategy with Kubernetes and Knative, owned CI/CD pipeline architecture, and studied load balancer internals from Pingora to custom implementations.

Production-grade MCP protocol server bridging AI agents to ServiceNow. Designed the binary protocol layer, client-server auth flow, ETag-based caching, TLS mutual auth, OAuth2 integration, and Prometheus observability from the ground up.

View on GitHubEnd-to-end onboarding platform I architected and built. Spring Boot + React, intelligent buddy matching algorithm, JWT auth, and a full load testing + chaos engineering harness to validate resilience before shipping.
View on GitHubTechnical deep dives that sharpen architectural intuition. jq source code analysis, UUID v7 Postgres benchmarks, Java caching patterns (Redis/RabbitMQ), and load balancer internals from Pingora to building one from scratch.
View on GitHubSystematic algorithm archive across four languages. Every problem solved 3+ ways from brute force to optimal, with JMH benchmarks and cross-language performance analysis to understand trade-offs at the metal level.
View on GitHubMIT 6.828 Operating Systems Engineering. Built a kernel from scratch — virtual memory, system calls, process scheduling, interrupt handling. The kind of foundation work that makes you a better architect at every layer above.
