About Me

A Software Engineer specializing in building scalable, cloud-native applications and distributed systems with Go. I design and build resilient backend services engineered for high performance and availability on the Google Cloud Platform.

My project work is focused on solving real-world architectural challenges. I architected and built a complete e-commerce backend using a microservices approach on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). This platform is designed to handle high-volume transactional loads by allowing core services to scale independently, ensuring system resilience and maintainability.

Additionally, I engineered an asynchronous, event-driven data pipeline capable of ingesting and processing thousands of streaming events in real-time. This system leverages Google Cloud Pub/Sub and Cloud Functions to reliably funnel data into BigQuery for large-scale analytics.

I specialize in Go for concurrent systems, Google Cloud for robust infrastructure, and modern architectural patterns like microservices and event-driven design. My technical toolkit includes Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC, and PostgreSQL.

I am passionate about tackling complex backend problems and am actively seeking a role where I can contribute to building reliable and scalable systems.
