Backend & Platform Engineer

I build backend systems, APIs, platform tooling, automation workflows, production mobile products, business software, distributed-systems experiments, and production platforms for both independent products and client engagements.

Engineering philosophy

I care about systems that do real work. My projects span distributed service communication, custom RPC systems, developer tooling, backend APIs, workflow automation, storage services, business software, and business intelligence. The common thread is turning complex workflows into reliable, maintainable software.

Projects

Open-source and independently developed engineering work. This section is intentionally reserved for systems, tools, APIs and products that can be inspected through public repositories or demos.

Developer Security & Tooling
01

Toolip

DEVELOPER SECURITY CLI · v2.2.1
Local-First Supply-Chain Security, Dependency Intelligence & Secure Developer Workflows

Toolip v2.2.1 is a local-first JavaScript/TypeScript security CLI built around one canonical resolved dependency graph, measurement-aware scoring, bounded analyzers, AST security checks, secret and Git-history detection, SBOM generation, an encrypted atomic vault, staged-file pre-commit scanning, isolated upgrade PRs, and a read-only MCP surface. It supports Node 22/24 across Linux, macOS and Windows with verified npm release gates.

CRIX

CREDIT RISK INTELLIGENCE API · V3.2.0
Measured Credit-Risk Runtime, Tail Risk & Model Governance

CRIX v3.2.0 keeps the live `/api/v3` scoring contract stable while hardening the engineering underneath it: precompiled in-process model execution, sparse explanation rescoring, measured HTTP/runtime benchmarks, explicit hardened auth/proxy controls, privacy-bounded OpenTelemetry, tamper-evident model lineage, adversarial drift and offline SHAP-fidelity validation, plus Gaussian/Student-t portfolio simulation, shared tail attribution and research-only POT/GPD EVT. Heavy research remains offline and NumPy stays the canonical reproducible evidence path.

ELECTRIC MOBILITY · BACKEND / PLATFORM / MOBILE
Server-authoritative charging systems and driver/operator product delivery

Building across both the Go/PostgreSQL backend and the Expo/React Native product surface. My work covers station and booking domains, confirmation/PIN/start/progress/end/release charging lifecycles, idempotent and race-safe transitions, BOLA/RBAC, transactional notifications, bounded database access, Figma-aligned auth/onboarding and driver/station workflows, guest browsing, reservation recovery, completed-session ratings, conflict handling and OCPI interoperability architecture.

Engineering focusbackend correctness + product delivery

The deeper dossier separates shipped implementation from current review work and from OCPI architecture/research so the scope remains technically defensible as the codebase evolves.

Open source

NautilusTrader · Rust / Python 2 merged PRs · 1 RFC open

NautilusTrader

Across AroonOscillator and ArcherMovingAveragesTrends, shipped two merged upstream Rust fixes: the MAX_PERIOD Rust/Python boundary correction and the AMAT reversal-state fix. Also proposed an amortized O(1) rolling-extrema RFC and documented the slow-MA hypothesis through maintainer reference review and closure.

CLIENT RECOMMENDATION

Trusted beyond the first delivery.

The Azari Holdings engagement began with delivery of a resort-management platform and expanded into primary engineering ownership across Azari Residences, Azari Luxury Properties, Azari Select, partner and operations products, the group’s corporate brands, and the connected workflows needed to run them reliably.
