What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend/platform role where I can own cloud-native Go services, design API gateways, and improve reliability and performance with modern CI/CD, Kubernetes, and search systems.

I’m a Software Engineer with 7 years of experience designing, building, Backend & Platform, and maintaining scalable backend systems and Golang microservices. I thrive in cloud-native environments, where I can turn complex requirements into reliable services—especially through API design, distributed systems, and performance optimization.

At The Home Depot, I developed data pipelines aggregating ServiceNow and GitHub data, improved reliability with unit and integration testing in GCP workflows, and streamlined team workflows with Elasticsearch and Slack. I led Elasticsearch implementation to boost Firestore SQL AI tooling/redis front-end loading speed, migrated Go microservices to a multi-region environment with Kubernetes manifests, and designed a policy-driven Go API gateway enabling React zero downtime routing.
