Backend software engineer delivering low-latency, cloud-ready systems with measurable performance wins.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend software engineer with production experience across Golang, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure. I’m known for turning engineering rigor into measurable results, like cutting API latency by 98% and database load by 93% on a 2M+ user product.
Most recently, I’ve spent a year building production automation and AI-driven systems for business clients—shipping custom platforms end to end. As a Senior Software Engineer & Technical Consultant, I’ve served as the sole technical owner for multiple concurrent B2B engagements, directly scoping requirements, making build-vs-buy decisions, and owning delivery without an engineering team behind me.
I’ve designed and shipped a production automation platform using a Node.js/Python backend, a React dashboard, auth, and orchestration across multiple third-party APIs with OpenAI/Claude-driven decision logic. I’ve also built multi-source analytics/reporting pipelines (Google Ads, Meta Ads, GA4) that generate LLM-based insights and reclaim roughly $8K/year in analyst time for one client.
Earlier, I delivered scalable Golang + Couchbase backend systems for an LMS/community app (2M+ downloads, 30K+ active users), reducing API response time from 9.2s to 141ms (98%) and decreasing DB operations by 93%. I led development from requirements and system design through TDD, deployment, and post-release monitoring, applying clean architecture and peer review throughout.
