Backend/infrastructure engineer with ~1 year of experience, currently MTS at a YC-backed startup building sandbox and workflow infrastructure for AI agents.
Recent production work: - Cut persistent workspace setup from ~70s → ~10s and sandbox recovery from ~486s → ~14s while preserving sessions across restarts/code updates. - Made workflow registration idempotent across retries, duplicate hooks and out-of-order deployments, reducing workflow-sync failures from ~90% → ~1%. - Built reconnectable multi-client streaming with one canonical agent run per task. - Previously built a Go backend handling 10k+ concurrent WebSocket connections at sub-100ms latency.
Systems projects: - lsm-tree-go — LSM-tree storage engine with mmap WAL, bloom filters, sparse indexing and leveled compaction; profiled from ~250k to ~2M writes/sec and 5x BoltDB throughput on random writes. - vase — Go pub/sub broker using a lock-free ring buffer + mmap WAL; ~62x Redis throughput at 100 subscribers in my benchmark, with zero message loss across 5M messages at 1,000 subscribers. - Engram Engine — durable agent-memory layer using event sourcing + WASM isolation with sub-1ms sandbox overhead.

Backend and infrastructure engineer focused on systems programming and production reliability. Currently a Member of Technical Staff at a YC-backed startup, building infrastructure for AI agents and durable user workspaces.
Recently built persistent sandbox infrastructure with directly mounted durable storage, reducing workspace setup from ~70s to ~10s and recovery from ~486s to ~14s while preserving user sessions across restarts and code updates. Also redesigned workflow synchronization, multi-client streaming, and CI test execution.
Selected projects:
vase — A Go pub/sub broker built on a lock-free ring buffer. 62x faster than Redis at 100 subscribers (111k vs. 1.8k msg/s), with zero message loss across 5 million messages at 1,000 subscribers.
iouring-wal — A write-ahead log built in Go directly on io_uring raw syscalls, without external libraries or CGo. 5.5x faster than naive fsync at 64 concurrent writers, with SIGKILL-tested crash recovery.
lsm-tree-go — An LSM-tree storage engine with bloom filters, sparse indexing, leveled compaction, and crash recovery. Profiled from 250k to ~2M writes/sec using pprof and achieved 5x BoltDB throughput on random writes.

Backend and infrastructure engineer focused on systems programming in Go. Currently working with YC-backed startup. I build low-level infrastructure from scratch and benchmark it honestly.
Recent projects:
vase — a pub/sub broker in Go using a lock-free ring buffer. 62x faster than Redis at 100 subscribers (111k vs 1.8k msg/s). Zero message loss across 5 million messages at 1000 subscribers.
iouring-wal — a write-ahead log built on io_uring from raw syscalls in Go, no external libraries or CGo. 5.5x faster than naive fsync at 64 concurrent writers. Crash recovery tested with SIGKILL.
lsm-tree-go — an LSM tree storage engine (the structure inside RocksDB and Cassandra). Profiled from 250k to ~2M writes/sec with pprof. 5x faster than BoltDB on random writes. Bloom filters, leveled compaction, crash recovery, all tested under -race.
