The Lowdown

I’m a Software Engineer who’s absolutely obsessed with the "behind-the-scenes" magic. While most people focus on the bits they can see, I’m busy architecting mental backend ecosystems and advanced AI-enabled systems that actually scale. My bread and butter is engineering intelligent automation and deploying secure, high-stakes infrastructure. I don't just write scripts; I build agentic workflows that think. It’s all about blending logic that's solid as a rock with that creativity.

Career Highlights

Dev Log

Musings on Python, why your RAG system is probably slow, and how I use AI agents to automate my life.

From Code to Cluster: My End-to-End Backend & AI Engineering Lifecycle

A practical breakdown of my software engineering workflow—from SQLModel schema design to provisioning root-access VPS environments for RAG systems.

The Mechanics of Latency in API Architecture

Exploring how proper backend choices and data layer optimisations can slash system response times, manage concurrent overhead, and kill latency spikes.

The Case for Monolithic Core Logic in a Microservice-Hyped World

Why architecting a proper unified core before splitting services leads to cleaner data boundaries, mental throughput, and less operational headache.
Hugo is a legend. He engineered a corporate payroll app from scratch that’s actually reliable. His backend logic is top-tier, honestly, the system reliability is now miles ahead of where it was.
