Backend & DevOps Engineer
I design backend services and run production infrastructure, cloud and on-prem: from APIs and data to orchestration, CI/CD, and observability.
About
I've spent 4+ years building scalable backend services and operating the production infrastructure they run on, from API design and database architecture to container orchestration and observability. I like owning systems end to end: if I write it, I also deploy it, monitor it, and get paged for it.
Currently at Ecolarium, where I architect multi-tenant SaaS platforms and run Kubernetes clusters and 3-node PostgreSQL HA setups. On the open-source side I author MCP servers that let LLMs operate enterprise infrastructure: Active Directory, network operations, Proxmox, and FortiGate.
