Senior Backend Engineer focused on long-lived systems.
I design, build, and operate backend software that has to remain reliable over many years, often in regulated and resource-constrained environments. My work sits at the intersection of backend engineering, systems reliability, and real-world process modeling.
I care about clarity over novelty, explicit models over hidden magic, and software that people actually use without friction.
- Backend systems that act as a single source of truth
- Process-driven software (workflows, roles, traceability, auditability)
- Long-running production systems with low operational cost
- Conservative, maintainable architectures over trend-driven designs
Most of my professional work has been in environments where systems cannot be rewritten every two years and failure has real consequences.
- Languages & Frameworks: Python, Django
- Databases: PostgreSQL, SQL (data validation, reporting, traceability)
- Systems: Linux, production operations, system reliability
- Infrastructure: Docker, Nginx
- Architecture: Process modeling, modular monoliths, long-lived system design
I deliberately avoid over-claiming experience in areas I haven’t operated at scale in production.
- Senior Backend / Systems Engineer in government-regulated environments
- Experience supporting ISO 9001 quality management systems
- Former ISO 9001 Lead Auditor (IRCA)
- Comfortable working close to real users, auditors, and operational staff
Here you’ll find:
- Backend projects focused on clarity and maintainability
- Experiments and tools extracted from real operational needs
- Documentation-first approaches to system design
Not everything here is polished or trendy. Most of it is honest.
