I'm a senior backend engineer who joined Agency Handy as a founding engineer and now leads the backend team. My stack is Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS, and I've shipped everything from multi-tenant SaaS platforms to webhook delivery infrastructure I load-tested to high throughput.

What makes me a bit different: I design architecture before I write code, I've done the CTO seat at an early-stage startup, and I treat distributed systems problems as genuinely interesting rather than just tickets to close.

I'm looking for a senior or lead backend role, ideally remote, where the work involves real system design challenges and I'm not the only person on the team who cares about correctness.
