I build backend systems that keep working when things fail.

Backend developer, 2+ years in startups. Python and Java, REST APIs, and event-driven architecture on AWS — queues, dead-letter handling, and async workloads that survive partial failure.

Experience

Backend Developer

Quixotic feb 2024 — present
  • Backend work on a multi-tenant SaaS product — keeping each tenant's data isolated while the same services handle all of them.
  • Designed scalable REST APIs and asynchronous, event-driven flows on AWS for heavy data-synchronisation workloads.
  • Architected an event-driven system with Amazon SQS and dead-letter queues so failed async work is retried instead of lost.
  • Secured service access with API Gateway + Cognito, giving cloud-native services a single auth path.
  • Contributed React components to the product's Next.js frontend — enough to ship a feature end to end.
  • Shipped faster with AI-assisted tooling (Cursor, Claude Code), holding quality with unit tests.
