What I'm looking for

I am seeking backend or platform roles where I can build high-performance distributed systems, optimize throughput and reliability, and contribute to open-source tooling.

I am a backend engineer focused on building high-performance, production-ready systems in Go, with strong emphasis on distributed architecture and reliability.

I have built 8+ open-source Go projects including a distributed rate-limiting library, a raw HTTP server from TCP sockets, a full-stack Todo API, a concurrent chat server, and a Git implementation from scratch.

My work includes measurable performance wins such as optimizing an HTTP server from 250 to 11,000 RPS using buffer pooling and zero-allocation techniques, designing swappable storage backends with automatic failover, and implementing multi-server coordination patterns for caching and rate limiting.

I value pragmatic engineering, observability, and resilient design; I enjoy contributing open-source tools that are used across multi-instance deployments and solving low-level systems challenges.
