Principal backend engineer specializing in Go and Ruby on Rails systems that cut costs and boost throughput.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Principal Software Engineer focused on high-throughput backend systems, specializing in Go and Ruby on Rails. At Malwarebytes, I spearheaded a scalable Go service on AWS ECS that enabled distributed teams to process 30,000 requests per minute and cut infrastructure costs by 80% within 12 months, while also building URL classification services across 10+ client integrations.
I also lead cross-stack solutions—building a Ruby on Rails backend integrated with a React/TypeScript frontend for a mitigation pipeline that increased analyst throughput by 60% and improved ETL success rates by 25%. I mentor engineers and drive machine-learning anomaly detection, identifying 200+ data issues and reducing triage time by 40%, and I’m equally comfortable strengthening quality through automated testing from my earlier Quality Assurance Analyst experience.
