A finite set of
things, done exhaustively.

I build typed, dependable systems — backends, tooling and the quiet infrastructure that holds products together.

About

A sealed class has a finite, known set of subtypes — the compiler can reason about all of them. I try to write software, and a career, the same way: a small set of things, each handled exhaustively.

I’m a software engineer focused on backend and systems work — the layers most users never see but always feel. I care about correctness, clear boundaries and code that’s still legible a year later.

My happy place is a strong type system, a fast feedback loop and a problem worth modelling well. I’ve shipped APIs, data pipelines and developer tools, and I like leaving things simpler than I found them.
