01 — About
A hands-on technical leader who creates leverage through architecture, not headcount.
With 6+ years in C# and .NET, I design and ship scalable backend systems — from high-performance APIs to complex microservices architectures across SaaS and supply chain domains. As Principal Engineer at SimpliDOTS, I own architecture, technical direction, and the hard technical decisions — while staying deep in the code.
I've been fully remote for roughly six years, thriving in async-first distributed teams. Lately I'm focused on applying AI and workflow automation to eliminate repetitive engineering work — so teams spend their attention on problems that actually need judgement.
02 — What I Do
Four areas where I do my best work, and where most of my recent shipping has happened.
02
AI & Automation
LLM integration, n8n workflow automation, and AI-assisted developer tooling that removes repetitive work from the delivery path.
LLM / GPT · n8n · Copilot · Kiro
03
Cloud Architecture
AWS and Azure workloads, containerized deployments, and event-driven infrastructure sized to real traffic and real budgets.
ECS · Lambda · SQS · App Service · Docker
04
Technical Leadership
Architecture direction, technical standards, and the hard technical decisions. Creating leverage by raising the bar for the whole team rather than directing from outside it.
Architecture · Standards · Technical risk · Mentoring
03 — Speaking & Community
Workshops and talks across the Medan tech community — GDG DevFest, Build with AI, and the AWS User Group I help organize.
