Backend & Systems Engineer · Go · Python · CGO · Concurrent Systems
I build systems that eliminate manual work.
If I do something twice, I automate it the third time.
Backend and systems engineer based in Ontario, Canada. I've been building things autonomously since before anyone was paying me to — my instinct in every context is to find the manual process and automate it out of existence.
I co-authored python-aria-mirror-bot, a Telegram automation tool that grew into a widely adopted open source ecosystem with thousands of users and hundreds of derivative projects. When its C++ SDK bindings kept crashing, I learned Go, wrote CGO bindings from scratch, and wrapped them behind a REST service boundary.
I'm looking for a backend or systems engineering role where I can do what I've always done: find the broken thing and fix it properly.
