I build resilient, fault-tolerant backend architectures. I specialize in designing systems that gracefully degrade under extreme load rather than collapsing, eliminating single points of failure through core software patterns.
Most developers write code for the happy path. I design for the worst-case scenario. I focus on distributed systems resilience, traffic shaping, and high-concurrency survival strategies using TypeScript and low-level infrastructure orchestration.
A zero-dependency TypeScript implementation of architectural resilience patterns designed to mitigate the Thundering Herd effect under heavy load.
- The Core: Engineered a custom resilience layer featuring Exponential Backoff with Jitter and an autonomous Circuit Breaker state machine (Closed, Open, Half-Open).
- The Stress Test: Containerized the infrastructure using Docker and simulated a catastrophic spike of 5,000 concurrent requests using k6 while forcefully injecting server downtime.
- The Resolution: Prevented cascading failures by dispersing retry waves over a 5-attempt dynamic window, stabilizing the core service recovery rate by 100% without data drops.
- Load & Stress Testing: Writing complex user behavior simulations in k6 to locate memory leaks and API breaking points.
- Environment Isolation: Multi-stage Docker configurations to ensure deterministic production behavior across distributed nodes.
- Asynchronous Primitives: Mastery of event-loops, race conditions, non-blocking I/O, and strict error-as-values handling in TypeScript.

"Just because the code works doesn't mean the system is reliable. True engineering happens when you design for the moment everything breaks."
