SDE, Backend @ WinZO

I build scalable, resilient backend systems — high-throughput services, distributed infrastructure and the tooling that keeps them running.

Backend systems,
in production.

Backend engineer with a focus on distributed systems and platform reliability. At WinZO I work across a suite of 30+ microservices, where I have shipped game logic serving 1M+ gameplays a day, a runtime-configurable job scheduler, a multi-cluster Redis access layer, and a distributed configuration cache.

I care about the unglamorous parts: cutting cascading failures, removing redeploys from infra changes, and making systems observable. I like turning fragile, manual workflows into boring, automated ones.

Things I built,
running right here.

Four pieces of production infrastructure from WinZO, rebuilt as live simulations. They play on their own — or take the controls and try to break them.

Circuit breaker

closed

A library that stops a failing downstream API from taking its callers down with it. After three failures it trips open and fails fast, then probes for recovery.

−70% cascading failures · uptime 98.5% → 99.8%

Distributed config cache

v41

Configuration lives in S3, changes are announced over Kafka, and every service updates the exact key that changed in its local cache. Nothing restarts.

Multi-cluster Redis resolver

cluster-a

Services ask a client resolver for a connection instead of hardcoding a host, so traffic can move to another cluster at runtime without dropping a request.
