The Architect of Spirals
"From Kafka's beetle to Nietzsche's hammer — I architect spirals that never break."
Backend Software Engineer · 4+ Years · Node.js & AWS · Millions of Events Daily
§ On building backends like soya aloo stir-fry
Backend Software Engineer with 4+ years building high-throughput distributed systems using Node.js and AWS. Like a perfect soya aloo stir-fry — balanced, spicy under pressure, and nourishing millions — I architect backends that handle millions of events daily without breaking a sweat (or the budget).
Experienced in event-driven architectures, caching systems, asynchronous processing, and large-scale messaging platforms. Strong focus on system reliability, performance optimization, and scalable backend infrastructure — from Lambda pipelines processing 1M SMS/hour to Redis Lua scripts cutting auth reads by 90%.
"I have declared war on flaky deploys. What does not kill my pipeline makes it stronger."
Between commits, I cook soulful meals and publish open-source tools like Limitly. Code and kitchen: both demand patience, heat management, blue-green rollouts, and the courage to taste before you serve.
Die Verwandlung · Ch. 1
"I awoke one morning from uneasy dreams and found myself transformed in my bed into a Senior Backend Engineer."
Not Gregor Samsa's beetle — a production-hardened Lambda with opinions about SQS backpressure, Redis Lua scripts, and why your queue should spiral like Uzumaki but never actually break.

Recipes that scale from home kitchen to feast for millions
Token Bucket that holds more than your grandma's masala dabba. Production-ready distributed rate limiting — 6 frameworks, 4 storage backends, 20,000+ req/sec on a single Redis node with P95 < 5ms.
npm install limitly
Throughput benchmark
P95 latency < 5ms · Redis Cluster ready
A concise, well-tested library of core data structures and algorithms for JavaScript — stacks, queues, priority queues, circular queues, segment trees, and binary search trees. Built for learning, teaching, and lightweight production use.
npm install stl-javascript
Contributed PHP getting-started documentation using Docusaurus to improve developer onboarding and adoption of standardized feature flagging practices. Because deploys should be reversible, not regrettable.
