What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me technically, offers opportunities for leadership, and fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in backend and full-stack development, specializing in Golang for the past 4+ years. I have a proven track record of architecting and delivering scalable, event-driven systems using Domain-Driven Design and CQRS principles. My experience includes leading the development of mission-critical platforms in the real estate and education sectors, such as a fully event-sourced property valuation platform built exclusively in Go.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership skills by managing cross-functional teams and overseeing IT infrastructure. I am committed to clean architecture and continuous learning, which has enabled me to rapidly ship solutions using modern tech stacks like Supabase, Retool, and Next.js. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to innovative projects and drive technological advancements.
