About Me

Bio

I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Xata, where I work on serverless database infrastructure and developer tooling. My work focuses on building type-safe systems with TypeScript and Go, designing APIs that are intuitive to use, and creating SDKs that provide great developer experiences.

I'm also building PgBeam, a globally distributed proxy for low-latency reads to any PostgreSQL that optimizes queries by just swapping the connection string.
