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
