I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience building cloud-native platforms and distributed systems using Golang. I specialize in gRPC services, observability, AI system integration, and DevOps automation. I have a proven ability to embed AI/ML pipelines into microservices, deploy scalable inference APIs, and orchestrate distributed AI workflows using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native tools. Known for reducing latency, improving scalability, and enabling secure, high-throughput services across fintech and B2B SaaS platforms, I am also adept at mentoring engineering teams, deploying to multi-cloud environments, and leading architecture decisions for mission-critical backend and AI-integrated systems.
