What I Care About

System design, distributed systems, scaling, and reliability ā€” how systems are built to handle real load, real failure, and real data.

Security fits naturally into that: PII protection, data leakage prevention, and safe-by-default architecture are design constraints, not afterthoughts.

What Iā€™m Building

  • Reindeer ā€” AI-powered database IDE. Understands your schema, fixes SQL instantly. Won 1st place at our company hackathon, 10+ early users onboarded.
  • Nodal ā€” No-code form backend that turns submissions into automated workflows.
  • Mocket ā€” Mock API server for faster frontend development and testing.
  • Secure-store ā€” End-to-end encrypted password manager, zero-trust architecture.

Writing

I write about system design, databases, distributed systems, and security here ā€” the kind of content I wish existed when I was figuring things out.
