Hey, I'm Dens 👋
I was employee #1 at Trieve (YC W24) (acq. by Mintlify), where I designed and scaled a distributed search platform that handles millions of queries in under 100 ms.
Before that, I was a SDE at Amazon, building large-scale backend services for vending brands and IP asset management.
Currently, I'm a Senior Backend Engineer at Mintlify, working on AI infrastructure and scaling.
When I’m not coding, I'm logging flight hours toward my private pilot’s license or tinkering with my many unfinished electrical engineering projects.
