What I'm looking for

I seek Go-focused distributed systems roles building event-driven, observable, secure, and highly available platforms with strong CI/CD and cloud practices.

I’m a distributed systems engineer with hands-on experience building high-availability, event-driven systems using Kafka, saga orchestration, event stores, and Go. I’ve contributed to large open-source Go projects, including GitLab Gitaly and GitLab Runner, and have created and maintained tooling that supports resilient, scalable systems.

In production, I’ve designed event stores, configured MongoDB replica sets, implemented WorkflowCore-based saga orchestration, and delivered distributed services integrating Kafka, PostgreSQL, Keycloak, and SignalR. I focus on observability, automated CI/CD, secure multi-tenant deployments, and reproducible tooling to improve system reliability and developer velocity.
