Message

At Cognizant, I designed a Go event-driven messaging service for bank customers that reduced event-to-dispatch delays from 14 minutes to 5. I also designed queued dispatch around bounded windows and delivery state, keeping processing reliable when external providers slowed.

Previously, at Wobbit, I built Go event receivers and a subscription dispatch worker, reducing MySQL delivery-state lookup time from 420 ms to 190 ms. At Pointwest and Accenture, I developed Go event endpoints and notification and transaction workflows backed by MySQL.
