Engineer who likes the boring problemspayments, retries, queues, observability

Full-stack developer with 6+ years shipping production systems in Node.js, React/Next.js, and TypeScript. I care about scalable backends, secure APIs, payments, real-time data, and the developer experience around all of it. Lately: AI workflows, agent systems, MCP servers, and open-source libraries that make the boring parts disappear.

I've owned the full stack at Kiddopia (consumer scale + payments), integrated everything-talks-to-everything for AB InBev at NeoSOFT, and currently build PWA-first AI products at Rezolve AI. On the side I publish small, sharp open-source libraries in TypeScript — the kind I keep wanting at every job.

"Make the dev experience so good it feels like cheating."
