Senior Backend Engineer / Tech Lead | Golang • C++ • Rust | Real-Time Distributed Systems

At avatarin, I engineered a Golang streaming library for AI robotics using UDP, FEC, and KCP, with an approximate 10% packet recovery rate. I also developed REST APIs for client SDKs to manage sessions during real-time remote-presence transmissions.

At Lava.ai, I maintained and optimized Golang microservices for a sports event platform, where users launched campaigns and tracked live statistics. I developed product features using REST APIs, PostgreSQL, and Redis, and integrated Kafka for event streaming.

Earlier, I worked across trading, e-commerce, gaming, and smart-device products, developing backend systems in Go, C++, and Rust. My experience includes a C++11 high-frequency trading platform, Android applications for smartwatches and healthcare devices, and real-time bidding systems.
