Software developer who knows some stuff, but is still figuring others out.
I'm a software developer who thinks in scale and reliability, how do you keep 1M+ messages moving every day without melting the database? How do you debug a production incident that spans three service boundaries? I don't care much about trendy tech stacks; I care about understanding why a system breaks, and building it so it doesn't break the same way twice.
I'm still learning. Been doing this 12 years and I'm still finding gaps in my mental model of how systems actually fail. That curiosity is the fun part. It's what keeps me engaged and makes development fun
This is where I think out loud about architecture decisions, production debugging, and the tools that make engineering teams less stressed. Just ideas that stuck with me long enough to be worth writing down.
