Open to senior backend roles
Four years making services hold their shape
Go, AWS and the unglamorous work of keeping things up: 2M+ requests a week at 99.9% uptime, across Cisco and now PayPal.
Certificate lifecycle · PayPal
Certificates renewed in minutes, not weeks
Renewal on Fastly's edge went from a fourteen-day manual queue to an orchestrated pipeline that finishes in under five, and rolls itself back when a gate fails.
Reliability at scale
Coverage up. Bugs halved. Nothing on fire.
62% to 93% coverage on a core Go package, production defects down by half, and a hundred-odd infrastructure incidents taken all the way to root cause.
The short version
I own services end to end — schema, API, deploy, the 3am page — and I like the part where a system stops being fragile. Most of my work is measured in things that did not happen.
Work
Issued, valid, renewed
Four and a half years of tenure, drawn the way I spend my days looking at certificates — as validity windows on one timeline.

- 14 days to under 5 minutes. Owned schema design and backend structure for Certificate Lifecycle Management on Fastly's edge CDN, automating renewal and deployment.
- Built the export flow and subtask orchestration across every request pipeline — SAN additions, pre- and post-validation, automatic rollback on failure.
- Built the operator frontend too, surfacing each orchestration step live so validation gates, deploy progress and rollback states are all visible.
- Designed against the 2029 mandate that cuts certificate validity to 47 days, so the platform survives renewal at that frequency.

- 2M+ requests a week at 99.9% uptime. Delivered the Product Alert Service API in Go on AWS, using caching and load-balancing strategies to hold that under load.
- Architected the FIS API for product feature data — 30% more throughput at low latency, on Go concurrency primitives.
- Dove deep on 100+ production infrastructure issues across AWS with SRE and platform teams, through root cause to long-term fixes.
- Lifted coverage on the CX Cloud IBES Go package from 62% to 93%, cutting production bugs in half.
- Quarterly Shining Star Award, twice, for leading critical backend service work.

Builds
Things I made unprompted
Sehat
One health app for all
A privacy-first health platform on a Go backend with FHIR R4 interoperability, so records move between systems without being rebuilt each time. A multi-model AI pipeline — Anthropic Claude among them — turns a patient's history into something actionable rather than another PDF.

HR Transport
Live bus tracking and ticketing
A PWA for riders who just want to know where the bus is. Stop detection runs automatically instead of by driver input, caching keeps it cheap on a serverless deploy, and the APIs are documented so other operators can plug in.
