Backend Developer

  • Focused on Scalable Systems & Decentralized Media. I am a backend engineer who treats digital infrastructure with the same precision and reliability I used in the skilled trades. My transition from electrical work to software engineering wasn’t just a career pivot; it was a natural evolution of my passion for solving complex, high-stakes problems. I focus on building scalable, containerized backend systems and managing complex relational data models. I prioritize creating secure, high-availability infrastructure that remains performant under the pressure of real-time data. What I’m working on: VoxPort: Building a protocol-native podcasting platform on the AT Protocol.- High-Throughput Processing: Implementing Jetstream workers with batch processing and I/O parallelism to handle massive network firehoses.- Sovereign Data: Architecting systems where creators, not platforms, own their audience and identity. I’m a relentless learner and a disciplined builder. Let's connect if you're interested in the future of the open web or need a backend dev who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty with complex migrations.
