What I'm looking for

I’m focused on deepening my backend expertise, especially in Go, exploring distributed systems and applied AI, and building products that are useful and well-engineered.

At Sova Labs, I architected and shipped a loan repayment module for a regulated lending platform, covering data modeling, API design, and core business logic. I modeled the loan lifecycle and applied double-entry accounting principles to support ledger correctness and audit readiness.

Across roles at MissionSync, GearSparks Consulting, and other product teams, I’ve developed backend features, integrated APIs, and built web and mobile interfaces. I work with Go, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL, and I’m currently focused on deepening my backend expertise in Go, exploring distributed systems and applied AI, and building useful, well-engineered products.
