Self-taught backend engineer running a multi-model API stack in production. 18 channels, 6 providers, 6 months in — still shipping.

I write about what breaks at 2 AM: key cache invalidation, silent fallback chains, embedding cost surprises. The kind of stuff you only learn when your pager goes off.

My first product is the AI API Gateway Pitfall Map — a single-page reference card for LiteLLM Proxy operators. Print it, pin it, survive your next 2 AM incident.
