What I'm looking for

I seek a role building scalable, cloud-native systems with strong engineering practices, mentorship opportunities, and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a Senior Go FullStack Engineer with 10+ years designing, implementing, and deploying large-scale, cloud-native and real-time systems for global enterprises. I specialize in Go for distributed microservices, high-throughput APIs, event-driven architectures, and building robust front-end interfaces with React and modern frameworks.

I have led backend development for high-availability services supporting millions of concurrent users, optimized databases and streaming pipelines, automated CI/CD and cloud deployments, and applied strong security and observability practices. I mentor engineers and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable solutions on time.
