Engineering Perspective

I’m a hands-on engineer who enjoys building things that solve real problems. Over the past 14+ years, I’ve worked across software engineering, data platforms, and solution architecture—primarily in banking and enterprise environments where systems must be fast, secure, and dependable.

My work often lives in the middle of data at scale, event-driven systems, and production reliability—taking ideas from early experiments through real usage, then hardening what proves valuable and improving what’s already running.

What I focus on

Designing scalable systems with reliability and security as first-class requirements.

How I work

Clear architecture and standards that teams can maintain and evolve confidently.

What this blog is about

Deep dives into software and data engineering and system design

Lessons learned from production systems
