Building and deploying backend systems and cloud infrastructure at LQ Digital. Production systems built for real traffic.

01

I build and maintain backend systems and cloud infrastructure at LQ Digital, an Australian-based digital company serving international clients. Stack is Django, FastAPI, Next.js, and GCP. I architect and manage these environments directly with a team of 8 engineers.

Day to day: backend API design, cloud infrastructure, server management, and fixing production problems that don't come with clean answers.

Interested in how systems behave under real load. Designing for traffic spikes, failure isolation, and graceful degradation before writing any code.

High-Traffic Result Portal

Built for concurrent spike traffic. Hundreds of users hitting a single endpoint simultaneously on result announcement day. NGINX cache locking, per-IP rate limiting, keepalive tuning. Zero downtime, sub-second response times throughout.

JWE Decryption Demo

Client-side JWE decryption with FastAPI backend. Sensitive payloads are never decrypted server-side. The private key stays in the browser, not on the server.
