What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Go backend and reliability work end to end—architecting production services, owning monitoring/incident response, and scaling CI/CD on cloud and Linux fleets with a team that values ownership and async delivery.

I’m a senior Go backend and reliability engineer with 9 years building systems that run in production. After ~3 years as a Site Reliability Engineer for a US company—owning enterprise Azure infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes deployment pipelines, and monitoring—I now lead engineering as CTO of an EV-charging platform, where I architected and keep live a Go/OCPP backend on a self-managed multi-server fleet.

I like closing the loop between code and operations: provisioning, CI/CD automation, security hardening, observability, and incident response. I’ve shipped fintech-grade integrations (payment gateways, BTC/Naira crypto conversion, peer-to-peer lending), authored reusable Go libraries, and built products like an SMS platform and OCPP tooling—always aiming for build leverage through reliable, reusable infrastructure and services.
