Systems Engineer · Distributed systems & infrastructure

Senior Software Engineer with a track record of building resilient, distributed systems: from webhook proxy services and encrypted request pipelines to embedding-based semantic search across millions of job listings. I work comfortably across the stack, but I especially enjoy solving hard backend and infrastructure problems: service orchestration, secure data flows, and systems that need to scale without breaking. Currently building Quiqorder.

  • Designed a webhook proxy service that fans inbound requests out to downstream services with encryption in and decryption out.
  • Built an embedding-based semantic matching system classifying listings against O*NET occupation codes in real time via vector search.
  • Manage Kubernetes orchestration across staging and production; backend on EC2 behind Caddy for auto-SSL.
  • Building the storefront, order management, and payment flows that let sellers sell on WhatsApp around the clock.
  • Automating chat and Status posts so merchants can capture and fulfil orders without being online.
  • Generated ZUGFeRD and XRechnung invoices and eased tax remittance via direct FinAPI, Stripe, and Etsy integrations.
  • Built automated reconciliation keeping bank transactions current.
  • Managed deployments across ECS (production backend) and EC2 (staging + frontends).
  • Delivered interactive causal-inference and causal-discovery workflows over datasets with millions of rows.
  • Built nodal network visualizations mapping relationships across formulation phase spaces to surface scale-up risks earlier.
  • Collaborated with a global team to ship new pages and fix UI bugs.
  • Improved design consistency across the site.
  • Built file upload, sharing, and permission-management workflows with real-time sync.
  • Implemented scalable content indexing and search logic for fast retrieval of user-generated data.
