Software Engineer (10 YOE) | Backend/Infrastructure

Spent the last 5 years at Google building and operating critical services with huge scale. I designed and shipped distributed monitoring systems, migrated a huge global, sharded database to safe rollout automation, and shipped code in Go, Python and C++, both internal tooling, as well as instrumenting and adding features to user-facing binaries serving many QPS. Half the time I was production oncall for these services too. Before this, moved fast at startups and mid-sized US companies. Now seeking: Backend or infrastructure engineering roles where I can build resilient systems that matter. Strong preference for companies with meaningful mission, but open to any team with high ownership culture. In my work, I care a lot about resilient design, long-term operability, and reliability and would like to work with others who are similarly oriented.

Summary: I'm a full-stack engineer looking for meaningful work. I'm most motivated when my code helps people directly. In my last role, I worked on systems that helped millions access financial tools, and it was incredibly rewarding. I want to find that sense of purpose again. I enjoy solving concrete problems with Go, Python, and modern web stacks, often around data or system reliability. If your company is building something that improves lives, I'd love to help.

I'd love to link up with a company to build out some internal tools for them using spec-driven development. I've built a ton of complex software using things like Claude Code and type-theory, but haven't had a change to put that to the test in a FTE role, which is a goal for 2026. Let me know if you'd like to connect.

Here's some cool projects I've built:

Personally I'm looking for a job that I feel like actually has some kind of positive benefit on the world, or something that seems particularly challenging or interesting. This can range anywhere from a note-taking application to managing retirement funds to writing a Typescript to Go compiler to writing a new database. I'm not interested in one of the 5 million AI hype cycle jobs (partly because I dislike LLMs), and I actively hate the blockchain, ads, and tracking users. I do not, and will never, compromise on privacy issues.

A list of things you should know about me and how I'm going to do my best work for you:

* I want to be able to work on something a bit more interesting than another simple REST application.

* I want my hours to be flexible, meaning when I start/end or being able to take some time in the middle of the day for groceries or a doctors appointment.

* I want to be able to come up with ideas I think would be useful/interesting and be given some time to work on them. I know that there are things I'm going to have to do for the business that aren't going to be these things, but I need some amount of time to do this or I'm going to struggle as a worker.

* I'm going to have strong opinions about all sorts of things, and I expect to be able to have a conversation about them and not just be dismissed.

* I'm going to want to improve things, and if I continuously get told "no", it's going to kill my morale.

I've previously lived in Japan a couple decades ago and studied the language intensively for 2 years at that time in one of the schools dedicated to helping foreigners go to university or get jobs there. (specifically at: 東京平田日本語学院. I almost passed JLPT N2 then, but I'm nowhere close to that level currently) I've recently been picking back up on studying Japanese again to maybe fulfill a long-held dream of going back to Japan longer than a vacation. So on the off chance you're someone in Japan hiring for a position you think I'd be a fit for (and you're not a black company), please reach out.
