Case Studies
Architecting Performance
In a recent project, I faced a bottleneck with a third
party API that was slowing down the entire user
experience. Rather than accepting the limitations, I
developed a high performance caching layer using Rust.
The solution improved latency by 100x (up to 300x under
load), all the while keeping a single point of truth and
guaranteed data consistency.
Working with Legacy Code
I recently was asked to take ownership of a product with
severe performance issues. By redesigning the retrieval
strategy and implementing Geohash search in the existing
NoSQL database I improved initial load times by more
than 10x. Additionally, providing reliable location- and
radius-based search. More importantly, I did this
without rewriting the entire stack, proving that
significant performance wins often come from
architectural insight rather than starting from scratch.
Designing for Scale
As our team grew, I noticed new developers struggling
with our frontend complexity. I led the restructuring of
our codebase, creating a modular design and a set of
clear guidelines. The goal was to make the "right way"
to code also the "easiest way." This meaningfully
reduced our regression rate and, more importantly, gave
the team the confidence to ship features faster.
I deliver scalable solutions for both greenfield projects
and legacy systems.
Technical Philosophy
Using The Right Technology
Although I am passionate about the ever evolving
software landscape, I strongly believe that new
technology must be adopted responsibly.
I choose established, stable tools for critical
infrastructure and cutting-edge tech for specific
problems where it offers a measurable advantage.
Establishing Effective Processes
Robust processes are the backbone of enterprise
software. For example, a solid CI/CD pipeline enables
engineers to focus on what they are deploying rather
than how they are deploying it.
I champion processes that reduce repetitious work and
cognitive load, enabling the team to deliver maximum
value with confidence.
Providing Great User Experience
Good performance and a long list of features mean
nothing if the software is unpleasant for the end user.
As products mature, complexity often degrades the user
experience.
I pride myself on the ability to view systems through
the eyes of a new user, bridging the gap between heavy
backend engineering and a clean, accessible frontend.
I bridge the gap between the requirements of end users and
stable, high-performance technical solutions.
