Backend engineer at Relay Logistics, building Go microservices and an event-driven parcel relay platform.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
At Relay Logistics, I built the backend for a parcel relay platform as eight Go microservices, with an event-driven core on NATS JetStream. The platform supports multi-leg routing, agent assignment, live tracking, wallets and settlements.
At NuNet, I designed the executor engine and delivered its Virtual Kubelet-based Kubernetes integration. I've also built payment APIs at Gr4vy and IoT data pipelines at Submerged AS, and contributed to robotics simulation tooling.
