What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior Backend Engineer role where I can build low-latency, high-concurrency Go services, own scalable microservices on AWS/GCP/Kubernetes, and ship real-time communication systems with strong engineering quality and customer impact.

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 8+ years of experience building low-latency, high-concurrency systems in Golang. I specialize in cloud computing and real-time communication services, with a proven track record of delivering scalable solutions that drive business growth through technological innovation.

In my recent role as Lead Backend Engineer, I architected and implemented scalable, fault-tolerant cloud services on AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes, supporting up to 10k concurrent users. I built and optimized containerized microservices using Docker and Kubernetes, worked extensively in Linux to debug performance issues, and maintained quality through code reviews and focused debugging. Previously, I built Go-based backend systems for real-time data processing and API delivery, executed test plans that achieved a 95% first-round pass rate, and increased customer satisfaction by 20% by leading cross-functional troubleshooting.
