What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience designing and implementing high-performance, scalable backend systems for large-scale products. I have led development of billing and analytics pipelines handling millions of users and streaming sessions, optimizing systems for latency, availability, and cost.
My core strengths are in Golang, distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native deployments on AWS and GCP. I have a proven track record of reducing latency, improving reliability, and cutting operational costs through architecture improvements, CI/CD automation, and targeted optimizations.
