What I'm looking for

I’m open to Backend Developer (Go) and Fraud Detection & Analysis opportunities (Remote/EU). I want to build maintainable, security-aware, fault-tolerant systems using modular architecture, event-driven processing, and reliable testing.

I’m a Go backend developer with hands-on experience building backend services, APIs, and web applications. I work with Go (Fiber, net/http), PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and modular architecture principles like DDD, SOLID, and clean architecture.

I build event-driven, fault-tolerant backend systems with asynchronous processing, database schema design, and end-to-end testing. In personal and freelance projects, I’ve delivered features like e-commerce workflows, link tracking and analytics, external API integrations, and SSR apps using Templ and HTMX.

Beyond software, I bring 14+ years in information security, economic crime investigation and analysis, incident response, OSINT, and log/data analysis. This background shapes how I develop security-aware systems focused on risk assessment and operational resilience.
