Senior Software Engineer at Awaed Trading who cut balance synchronization latency to under 15ms.
What I'm looking for
At Awaed Trading, I scaled Go Profile and Wallet microservices with CQRS and the Actor Model, helping reduce cross-platform balance synchronization latency from 350ms to under 15ms. I also designed a low-latency CDC pipeline that processed over 25 million daily transactions.
As an independent software engineer, I built a Go CLI for automated microchip component placement, improving an existing simulated annealing implementation to reduce execution time by 75%. I’ve also developed Go microservices for trading data and a full-stack CRM application.
Earlier at Valeo, I developed real-time automotive diagnostic systems and tools for safety-critical environments. At b_labs, I served as Chapter Lead for an e-commerce platform and re-engineered checkout flows, improving throughput during peak flash sales by 300%.
