What I'm looking for

I seek backend/platform roles where I can build reliable, high-performance systems, lead engineering teams, and deliver scalable fintech or high-load consumer products in a results-driven culture.

I am a senior backend engineer with deep experience designing and operating Golang microservices and distributed systems, focused on reliability and measurable results.

I built and scaled fintech and high-load platforms serving millions of users, doubled performance through query and architecture optimizations, and established observability and CI/CD practices that improved system visibility and stability.

I have led and mentored engineering teams, delivered customer-facing products under pressure, and worked across cloud environments and data stacks to ship robust solutions for banks, fintechs, and consumer platforms.
