I want to continue doing what gives me joy: designing/architecting/building complex software systems with care and solving challenging, large scale technical problems.

@meghashyamc
I'm a backend software engineer specializing in Go, building reliable production systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend software developer who loves Golang and building reliable production-grade systems. Over 5.5 years I’ve designed and shipped backend services for equity management, alerts, decentralized storage, and high-volume APIs.
I excel at designing fault-tolerant, logic-heavy services and have rebuilt critical production systems with strong reliability guarantees. I’ve worked extensively with Golang and to some extent with Python. I’ve also worked quite a lot with PostgreSQL, Redis Kubernetes, and cloud platforms like GCP and AWS.
