What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in backend development.

As a Senior Golang Backend Engineer, I have a proven track record of designing and implementing high-performance backend systems. My experience includes engineering a distributed notification pipeline at Toast, where I utilized Go and Amazon SQS to deliver real-time alerts efficiently. I thrive in environments that demand low-latency solutions and have successfully tuned concurrent processing logic to handle high-throughput workloads.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to enhance system performance and reliability. At Overleaf, I contributed to a collaborative LaTeX editor backend, significantly improving rendering responsiveness and optimizing request-routing logic. My commitment to clean architecture and robust testing practices has consistently resulted in high-quality deliverables and improved team productivity.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in microservices architecture, containerization, and cloud infrastructure to drive innovation and efficiency in backend development. I am eager to continue pushing the boundaries of technology and contributing to impactful projects.
