What I'm looking for

I want to build and scale secure backend platforms—Go APIs, microservices, and event-driven distributed systems—where I can own end-to-end delivery and collaborate closely with product and security teams.

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 10+ years of experience building backend services, APIs, and distributed applications across multiple technology stacks.

My background started with extensive C#/.NET development, then moved into Node.js and blockchain backend development, and today I focus on Go and modern distributed systems.

I bring strong ownership across the full lifecycle—from business requirements and system analysis to design, implementation, testing, and delivery—backed by a solid understanding of microservices and event-driven workflows.

I’ve built and supported production workflows for blockchain-based systems with an emphasis on reliability, idempotency, error handling, and data consistency, and I’ve implemented and improved testing practices to increase release confidence and reduce production risk.
