I'm a software engineer with around two years of professional experience using Java, Python, Javascript and SQL (Postgres, Oracle)

Outside of work, I focus on systems programming and language implementation. I'm currently building a compiler in C from scratch, and I'm particularly interested in compilers, interpreters, runtimes, developer tools and low-level software in general.

I'm open to systems software, compiler or back-end roles, and I'm also interested in startup environments.

Looking for: Senior / Lead / Staff Backend Engineer, Product Engineer, or backend-heavy Full-Stack roles. Also interested in AI product/platform roles where strong backend + product engineering matters.

Technologies: At this point, I can move across different tech stacks, but here are few I've worked with: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, React, Node.js, GraphQL/REST, distributed systems, background jobs, Terraform, Docker, Kotlin/Scala, TypeScript, etc

About me:

I'm a backend/product engineer with 10+ years of experience building and owning production systems across Agoda, Groove/Clari, VueOps, e-commerce, startups, and most recently my own AI product.

A few examples of the kind of work I've done:

- At Agoda, worked on high-scale production systems including an internal GraphQL platform handling 1B+ requests/day and an email platform sending 1M+ transactional emails/day. - Re-architected Agoda's B2B partner email workflows, reducing new partner onboarding from weeks to hours and improving launch velocity by 5–10x. - At Groove/Clari, was one of two engineers owning the customer-facing Dialer, building Rails/React/Twilio/Salesforce features used by high-ARR enterprise customers. - At VueOps, led the architecture of a Rails/React document platform and migrated its file-processing engine to AWS Lambda/DynamoDB/SNS, cutting infrastructure cost by 5x and failures by 3x.

I'm strongest in roles where I can take an ambiguous problem, understand the product/business constraints, design the system, and then stay hands-on through implementation and production.

Particularly interested in small/high-ownership teams, product companies, developer infrastructure/platforms, B2B SaaS, or AI-enabled products.
