Lead Backend Engineer · Search · Distributed Systems · Security
I build high-throughput, security-sensitive backend systems in Ruby on Rails and Go, and I've been doing it for nearly 10 years. Right now I'm the founding engineer at MINE2, building a cyber deception platform from scratch. Before that I led the Search division at RedDoorz, where I built the company's highest-throughput service and its LLM support chatbot.
