Technical focus areas.

The areas I work in day to day, and the engineering decisions behind them. Each page covers how the work is actually done — the patterns, the trade-offs, and the numbers from production systems.

//Cloud Engineering

Cloud Engineering

Infrastructure as code, reliability engineering, and cost control — the operating side of cloud work, not just the provisioning side.

//AWS & Serverless

AWS & Serverless

Event-driven backends on Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, and DynamoDB — with the operational detail that only starts to matter once real traffic arrives.

//Full-Stack Engineering

Full-Stack Engineering

APIs, interfaces, and the typed contract between them — plus the path from a local branch to something real users are hitting.

//Node.js Engineering

Node.js Engineering

Fastify endpoints, distributed workers, and the developer tooling that keeps a Node.js codebase honest as it grows.

//AI Engineering

AI Engineering

LLM pipelines, retrieval, and agent observability — treating AI features as systems that need tracing, not prompts that need tweaking.

//Serverless Architecture

Serverless Architecture

Decoupled, asynchronous systems that stay affordable when traffic spikes and cost nothing when it does not.

Prefer depth over summary? Engineering Insights has the long-form write-ups on these systems, including cost analysis, architecture breakdowns, and post-mortems of things that went wrong.
