Hey, I'm Adam

I'm a software engineer (and math hobbyist on the side) living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I like designing clean architectures and building tools that actually make day-to-day work easier. Right now I'm working on Piper , a flexible database migration tool.

When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me at the piano or singing. Music is my other outlet, where structure and freedom get to share the room.

Specialties

I work backend-first, building the systems that sit behind real business products.

Backend & product engineering

Most of my time lives on the server side: APIs, domain logic, data models, integrations, and all the plumbing that keeps products running. I build backends meant to ship, grow with the business, and stick around longer than the feature of the week.

Distributed systems

This is core to how I work: services talking over the network, partial failure, consistency trade-offs, and the operational mess that comes after. Distributed systems are chaotic, so I design them to be understandable first, and boring where it counts.

Scale & resilience

Real backends take real hits: concurrency, queues, back-pressure, traffic spikes. I design for systems that hold up under pressure, not clever demos that fall apart the moment production gets loud.

Frontend engineering

I ship frontend too. Visual design isn't my strongest suit, but state management, data flow, component structure, and wiring UI to real backends? That's where I'm comfortable. I aim for clear and maintainable over flashy.
