Hello, I’m Jacob .

I mostly work on backend and infrastructure problems—designing APIs, building high-throughput systems, and operating software in production. I’m particularly interested in the parts of systems that affect reliability in practice, like data models, deployment paths, and observability.

What I work on

My work centers on designing and operating backend systems that are safe, correct, and predictable under load.

  • Backend system and API design
  • High-throughput and performance-sensitive services
  • Kubernetes-based infrastructure and automation
  • Metrics, logging, and observability
  • Python, Go, and TypeScript
  • Databases and data modeling

Selected work

A small selection of work focused on reliability, performance, and operational clarity.

API Gateway Optimization

Streamlined request routing to reduce latency and improve throughput for high-traffic services.

Data Synchronization System

Built a reliable system ensuring consistent data replication across distributed databases.

Custom Developer Tooling

Created internal tools to automate deployment workflows and enhance developer productivity.
