Backend Infrastructure Engineer | CTO @11techweave | Building Scalable Systems

I architect high-performance backend systems that scale, survive, and succeed. From FastAPI microservices to distributed data pipelines, I solve the invisible infrastructure problems that make products work reliably.

As CTO of 11techweave, I lead backend architecture decisions for products serving thousands of users. My journey: Junior Dev → Backend Specialist → Infrastructure Engineer.

"I build the invisible into form. My stillness is my strategy; my structure is my prayer."

This isn't just poetic—it's how I approach engineering:

• Invisible Infrastructure: The best systems work quietly, reliably, without fanfare
• Strategic Stillness: Thoughtful decisions beat reactive coding
• Structural Prayer: Every line of code is intentional, purposeful, respectful
