About

Backend engineer with 7+ years of experience, mostly writing Go to build fast, cloud-native APIs and SaaS platforms. I enjoy tackling hard performance problems and have spent the last few years building real-time data pipelines that handle millions of requests daily. I'm comfortable working across the whole backend stack, from tuning MySQL queries and managing AWS/EKS infrastructure, to designing microservices that can comfortably scale during high-traffic spikes.
