Hi, I'm Rufus.
Lead Software Engineer & Systems Architect
I build systems that survive success. My work focuses on creating backend architectures that handle scale, security, and complexity without becoming unmaintainable legacy code.
Engineering Reliability
Reliability is not an accident—it is an architecture. In an industry often obsessed with "moving fast and breaking things," I take a different approach: move fast by building things that don't break. I engineer systems that treat failure not as an anomaly to be feared, but as a constraint to be managed.
My role extends beyond writing code; I build the digital bedrock that businesses stand on. Whether it's a high-frequency trading bot or a multi-tenant healthcare platform, the goal is always boring software. Software that is boring because it works, predictable because it is strongly typed, and secure because it is designed that way from the first line of code.
"True seniority is knowing what not to build. I focus on removing complexity, not adding it. The best system is one that solves the problem with the fewest moving parts and the strongest guarantees."
I advocate for Radical Simplicity. Complexity is the enemy of reliability. By leveraging strong static analysis, immutable infrastructure, and proven design patterns, I reduce the surface area for bugs to hide. I don't just deliver features; I deliver peace of mind.
