Backend Engineer at @Skidos | Distributed Systems & Observability
Backend engineer specializing in high-performance systems, media pipelines, and observability at scale. I build reliable infrastructure that powers production systems handling millions of transactions, with a proven track record of reducing operational costs and shipping features with zero-downtime deployments.
Currently: Building video ingestion and processing pipelines at Skidos Previously: SDE-1 Backend at Samespace, working on AI-driven search and LLM infrastructure
- Video & Media Pipelines β HLS streaming, adaptive bitrate transcoding, CDN optimization
- Distributed Systems β Microservices architecture, async job orchestration, inter-service communication
- Observability & Monitoring β OpenTelemetry, SigNoz, Prometheus/Grafana, production alerting
- Infrastructure Optimization β Cost reduction through smart caching, data migration, indexing strategies
- AI/LLM Integration β Vector databases, semantic search, document-grounded conversations, multi-language localization
- 80% latency reduction β Edge caching strategy for notification delivery system (P99 latency)
- CDN cost optimization β On-demand segment delivery vs. full file transfers in HLS pipeline
- Significant DB cost savings β Cold storage migration + indexing overhaul for stale data management
- Days to minutes β Automated multi-language voice-over pipeline (14 languages via GPT-4 + ElevenLabs)
- 150+ APIs refactored β Domain-Driven Design implementation without production impact

Building the backbone of a kids' educational platform with focus on video delivery and AI-powered content.
Key Projects:
- Video Ingestion Pipeline β Engineered end-to-end HLS adaptive bitrate streaming system, delivering chunks on-demand to reduce CDN bandwidth
- Multi-Language Voice-Over Pipeline β Automated content localization across 14 languages using GPT-4 rule engine, ElevenLabs synthesis, and CDN delivery (days to minutes turnaround)
- Cost Optimization β Migrated stale data to cold storage and overhauled indexing strategy, achieving significant managed DB cost reduction
- API Refactoring β Led phased migration of 150+ APIs to Domain-Driven Design (DDD) service layers with zero production impact
Developed AI-powered communication and search platform, handling real-time data at scale.
Key Projects:
- Notification Delivery System β High-throughput system with edge caching, achieving 80% P99 latency reduction and improved reliability at scale
- AI-Driven Search β Implemented semantic full-text and image retrieval using QdrantDB with document captioning and chunking
- Document-Grounded LLM β Built backend infrastructure with gRPC communication, vector retrieval (cosine similarity + confidence thresholding), and GPT-3 integration
- Production Observability β Implemented comprehensive monitoring with SigNoz and OpenTelemetry for real-time insights and alerting
