What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles building scalable microservices and real-time systems at engineering-driven teams that value DevOps, testing, and security-minded practices.

I am a Golang-focused backend developer with hands-on experience building microservices, custom databases, and real-time collaborative systems. I have deployed containerized services, optimized APIs for performance, and implemented robust data storage solutions using MongoDB and B-tree indexing.

My work includes engineering a custom NoSQL database with a bespoke query language and developing a real-time collaborative editor with conflict resolution. I bring strong full-stack fundamentals (React, Node.js), DevOps experience (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD), and a security mindset honed through competitive CTF participation.
