I'm a 20 year veteran engineer with a passion for building and optimizing ultra high-throughput distributed systems. My work focuses on Java, Kafka, Vert.x, Aerospike, and everything needed to squeeze maximum performance out of modern applications. I thrive on solving “impossible” scale problems, from systems handling 150+ billion daily requests to real-time event pipelines and distributed tracing stacks.

My posts are grounded in practical experience—benchmarks, experiments, and honest case studies from production. Expect deep dives into batch processing, message serialization, anything Java and the (often messy) realities of engineering at scale.

I write for architects, developers, and anyone obsessed with high-performance, resilient infrastructure. If you’re looking for technical fluff, you’re in the wrong place. If you want engineering that works, welcome aboard.
