What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own architecture and delivery for reliable, cloud-native Golang platforms, especially distributed systems, Kubernetes, payments, and high-availability services. I value technical leadership, mentoring, strong engineering standards, and meaningful production outcomes.

I've owned Golang backend and platform services for IBM Cloud Databases, improving multi-tenant reliability, security, and developer experience. I reduced compute costs by 40–60% by redesigning an always-on microservice as a Kubernetes CronJob architecture.

I've also served as a core platform architect for NPCI's Central Bank Digital Currency platform, designing regulated financial workflows, distributed reporting, reconciliation, audit-ready outputs, and resilient APIs. Across payment, banking, AdTech, streaming, and SaaS products, I build scalable services with strong observability, failure recovery, and production reliability.

I lead architecture reviews, technical roadmaps, system design, mentoring, and cross-functional delivery while building cloud-native systems on Golang, Kubernetes, AWS, databases, and event-driven platforms.
