What I’m working on
I’m the Backend Tech Lead at Privyr , a mobile CRM for sales professionals across Southeast Asia. I own the entire backend and infrastructure. Not a slice of it. All of it. Every API, every database decision, every deployment, every incident.
I built the platform from scratch and still run it. It processes 200,000 leads per day at 3,000 to 4,000 requests per minute. Recently I’ve shipped a production RAG pipeline on WhatsApp using Amazon Bedrock and ClickHouse, webhook infrastructure integrating 15+ platforms (Facebook Lead Ads, Google Ads, Zapier), Gemini AI for unstructured email parsing, and live database migrations across 300+ million records with zero downtime.
Where I’ve been
Before Privyr, I was a founding engineer at Avoma , an AI meeting intelligence platform. I joined when the team was 3 people and helped scale it to 40, with engineering growing from 1 to 22. I built the video processing pipeline: each meeting spins up a dedicated EC2 instance, records, uploads to S3, and terminates automatically, backed by Kafka and Faust for the event driven processing layer.
Before that I was at Red Hat building core APIs in Go for OpenShift.io, a real time multiplayer gaming platform on Node.js and Redis, and a mobile SDK that was acquired by Marketo. Different industries, consistent pattern: take a hard problem, understand it fully, ship something that holds up.
What I’m good at
I’ve built greenfield systems and worked in messy existing ones. I’ve taken platforms from the first line of code to production at scale, and I’ve joined midstream to stabilise and extend things already under load.
The work I find interesting sits at the intersection of complex backend systems and real product constraints: high throughput APIs, event driven pipelines, infra that has to stay up, AI features that actually ship. I’ve resolved a live DDoS attack during a production incident, debugged a VPC IP exhaustion outage during peak hours, and run zero downtime migrations on live data at scale.
Python, Django, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS, Terraform, Docker, ClickHouse. Full observability with Grafana and Prometheus. The kind of stack where I own the outcome end to end.
