Backend engineer specializing in Go microservices, REST APIs, and high-traffic distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing and building scalable backend microservices, RESTful APIs, and high-traffic distributed systems using Go (Golang). I focus on production-grade services that stay fast under real load.
In OTT and media platforms, I’ve built and optimized RESTful backend APIs for content modules, integrated Typesense-based search infrastructure, and used performance profiling to find memory leaks and CPU bottlenecks. I improved content search latency by ~40% and strengthened platform stability through log analysis and backend troubleshooting.
I also develop end-to-end microservices with secure authentication and RBAC, including match lifecycle, tournament management, and key-moment detection APIs. I’ve implemented LIVE/VOD scheduling and multi-resolution streaming workflows, using RabbitMQ-based asynchronous processing and Redis caching to keep systems responsive.
On cloud-based media processing, I built a cloud-agnostic Go backend service for AI-based VOD transcoding with multi-cloud storage integrations (AWS, Azure, GCP, SFTP, and Akamai). I design scalable MySQL schemas and orchestrate transcoding using RabbitMQ, while continuously profiling and optimizing APIs with Gopprof.
