About

Six years building production backends in Go and Python, the last three fully remote with teams across Southeast Asia and the Middle East. I own systems end to end: the architecture, the event-driven services, and the infrastructure they run on. Lately most of my work is LLM systems: workflow engines, agents, and real-time voice.

I like owning a problem from the first conversation to the thing running in production. Most of what I write here is a record of that: the trade-offs, the parts that broke, and what I would do differently. The videos double as English practice, so expect plain language.
