Senior software engineer specializing in Go backend systems and cloud-native platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer focused on Go backend development, distributed systems, and cloud-native infrastructure. I design and scale microservices and APIs that handle millions of daily requests with high availability and low latency.
At Google and Amazon I built high-performance backend services, optimized databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), implemented CI/CD, and integrated monitoring and ML pipelines to deliver measurable business impact. I mentor teams, improve reliability, and automate deployments using Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud services.
I bring strong expertise in API design (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), event-driven architectures, and observability, and I seek to deliver robust, scalable platforms that enable product teams to move faster while maintaining operational excellence.
