What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own backend systems end-to-end—building scalable Golang/PostgreSQL microservices and APIs, optimizing performance, and ensuring production reliability with strong collaboration and clear product ownership.

I’m a Software Engineer specializing in Golang and PostgreSQL, focused on building scalable, high-performance backend systems. I design robust APIs, microservices, and data-intensive solutions that support critical business logic while keeping code reliable and maintainable.

In my recent role, I architected a backend infrastructure targeting 99.99% uptime with Kubernetes-compatible scaling, and improved PostgreSQL resilience through advanced isolation levels and sharding—reducing query failures by 30%. I also strengthened authentication and authorization with OAuth 2.0, JWT, and real-time session/device tracking, and led a cross-functional team of 5 engineers through Agile sprints. Earlier, I delivered asynchronous workflows that eliminated 70% of manual effort and enabled 10× faster reporting, plus real-time synchronization with WebSockets and event-driven patterns.
