About me:
Former Amazon Prime Air and Twitch engineer focused on distributed systems, reliability, and large-scale data pipelines.
Recently building EZThrottle — a system designed to coordinate API traffic, retries, and fairness across multi-tenant and agent-driven workloads. Think: preventing retry storms, smoothing partial outages, and making backend systems more predictable under chaotic load.
I care a lot about:
- Reliability under real-world failure conditions (partial outages > total outages)
- Multi-tenant fairness and traffic shaping
- Systems that reduce operational burden, not add to it
Looking for roles or contracts where I can work on:
- Infrastructure / backend systems
- Distributed systems / reliability engineering
- High-scale APIs or data pipelines
