Building scalable distributed systems & cloud-native applications

01. About Me

Software Engineer with 7 years of professional experience building and scaling event-driven systems on AWS. I work on an IoT platform processing real-time GPS and vehicle telemetry at thousands of messages per second.

I specialize in event-driven microservices, stream processing (Kinesis, Kafka, Apache Flink) and C#/.NET on AWS, taking services from architecture and design through to production.

More recently I've been building with agentic AI — an agentic simulator on Amazon Bedrock that turns plain-English descriptions into test telemetry, and daily development with Kiro, AWS's agentic IDE.
