Alen Mašić

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with over 13 years of experience delivering backend platforms and production systems, with a strong track record in Go, PHP, and cloud-based technologies. I’m known for optimizing systems, implementing robust testing practices, and shipping scalable, maintainable code.

In my recent role at TightLine, I work on backend and data mastering using Go alongside Postgres, Clickhouse, ElasticSearch, Docker, and Kubernetes. I focus on performance, observability-ready components, and reliable services that can grow with product demands.

At Gelato, I maintained backend services for the logistics module using Go, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes, and Redis. I also improved packaging efficiency, reducing costs by 10% and minimizing waste, and upgraded the transport layer with an OpenAPI generator to increase development speed by 20%.

Previously, at LiquiDonate and Symphony, I led backend development, contributed to frontend features, and increased reliability through unit and end-to-end tests—improving backend reliability by 30%. I’ve also refactored systems from MVC to Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and migrated from Google Datastore to MySQL to significantly enhance performance, and I continue to enjoy full-stack collaboration when it helps the product move faster.
