Interests

I enjoy building and learning systems that scale—distributed systems, cloud architecture, performance engineering, and developer tooling. I’m also into observability (metrics, tracing, logging) and improving reliability in production environments.

Outside of work, I’m a competitive gamer, I follow English football closely, and I do amateur product photography—especially clean, detail-focused shots. I also keep up with new tech, build personal projects, and stay active.
