# whoami
I architect and build robust, scalable platforms for real-time data, automation, and analytics across finance, SaaS, and beyond.
Passionate about high-performance backend systems, developer tooling, and open source.
Experienced with Python, PHP, Node.js, C++, distributed systems, and all things cloud.
I believe the best solutions are simple, even for the most complex systems.
