Software Engineer | Founder | Backend & Infrastructure Architect
I craft scalable, precise, production-grade systems, developer tooling and infrastructure that just works—so teams and products can move at the speed of thought.
Founder at Aurora Foundation, designing runtime platforms, automation frameworks, and developer-centric systems that anticipate complexity before it arrives.
I design and deliver software that survives production chaos. My domain spans backend platforms, developer tooling, and full-stack systems, with an emphasis on operational simplicity, performance, and enduring maintainability.
Previously founded The Shine Mobile—a private, full-stack platform for automated bookings, payments, and operational orchestration.
I build for people who deploy at scale, but my work thrives in the shadows, orchestrating complexity so it never touches the user.
Founder & Lead Engineer | 2024 – Present
Building the backbone for secure, high-performance infrastructure that internal and client applications run on:
- Unified architecture blending Supabase, Firebase, and modular service patterns into one cohesive platform
- Self-hosted infrastructure for speed, reliability, and absolute control
- Enterprise-grade security, compliance, and multi-tenant isolation
- APIs designed for developer velocity, enabling rapid deployment without compromise
A terminal-first engineering runtime that executes workflows, orchestrates tools, and automates environments with surgical precision.
