Lead Backend Developer
- Led migration of monolithic system to microservices architecture
- Built high-throughput data pipeline processing 1M+ events per second
- Designed and implemented real-time monitoring and alerting platform
Chaos Engineer
Engineers resilience testing platforms across bare metal, OpenStack, Kubernetes, AWS, and serverless environments. Designs controlled failure experiments covering network impairment, node disruption, EC2 and availability-zone failures, Lambda timeouts, dependency failures, and downstream degradation.
- Linux tc/netem network injection
- AWS FIS EC2 termination scenarios
- DaemonSet-based node disruption
- Blast-radius and failure-parity automation
Lead Golang & Cloud Engineer
Architected a Golang LLM inference proxy with OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs, integrating Qdrant vector retrieval for retrieval-augmented generation. Designs high-throughput cloud platforms spanning event-driven services, large-scale data engineering, and distributed systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Automated refactoring, test generation, and code review with Claude Code
- Applied OpenSpec workflows for spec-driven development
- Built Parquet and PySpark data lake pipelines
- Implemented Kubernetes operators and GitOps deployment patterns
Senior Backend Engineer
Operates fault-tolerant Go microservices on AWS and Kubernetes for a verification platform serving millions of merchants. Designed Kafka consumers with at-least-once semantics, deduplication, retries, dead-letter handling, and provider abstractions for KYC/KYB integrations.
- gRPC API design
- DynamoDB persistence
- Terraform infrastructure provisioning
- 75% authentication-cost reduction
Software Engineer II
Developed Go microservices for a high-traffic commerce platform, including a product data service sustaining 5,000 requests per second with peaks near 20,000. Built Pub/Sub ingestion and synchronization pipelines processing approximately 60 million records across Kubernetes workloads.
- GCP Kubernetes production operations

- Concurrency-driven throughput optimization
- Legacy platform migration engineering
Senior Backend Engineer
Built Go microservices for a distributed document platform serving approximately 110,000 daily users, using Google Cloud Tasks and Pub/Sub for asynchronous lifecycle workflows. Replaced synchronous REST flows with retry-safe event processing backed by PostgreSQL metadata, Firestore content, Redis caching, and RBAC authorization.
- Implemented idempotent failure recovery
- Deployed services across AWS and GCP
- Built Prometheus production metrics
- Developed REST and gRPC interfaces
Senior Software Engineer
Built high-reliability payment platforms and more than 200 microservice components using Go and Rust, alongside Web3 infrastructure, smart contracts, and cross-chain services. Maintains an open-source Go multi-agent workflow orchestrator and operates tier-one transaction-processing systems with failure-oriented deployment and observability models.
- Kubernetes platform engineering
- Prometheus and Grafana operational telemetry
- Docker-based deployment automation
- Cross-chain backend integration
Staff Product Engineer
Architected a distributed enterprise data-exchange platform serving more than 600 applications across seven countries and approximately 70,000 daily transfers.
