Senior / Staff Backend & Platform Engineer • Remote-first (Nampa, Idaho)
I build and stabilize production backend and platform systems—services that must survive real users, real data, and real failure modes.
Over the last few years, I’ve also leaned hard into AI-augmented delivery: using LLMs as accelerators under explicit human control (constraints, invariants, validation), not as authorities.
Focus areas
- Backend & platform services (long-lived systems, clear contracts)
- Event-driven workflows (reliability, idempotency, failure-aware design)
- System stabilization & simplification (reduce risk, pay down critical debt)
- AI-enabled workflows (guardrails, evaluation, cost/latency awareness)
What I’m not
- I’m not an ML training / research engineer. I integrate LLM capabilities into products and workflows with practical guardrails.
