Building reliable distributed systems

ship scalable platforms that endure
I am a Senior Lead Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience in Golang, Java, and distributed systems. I lead teams to deliver scalable, cloud-native platforms and hands-on critical architecture.
Today I drive architecture and delivery of a distributed RPA system with Go-based agents and NATS messaging—scaling automation beyond 100 bots and securing communication with a zero-trust HMAC gateway.
I have delivered production RPA across 25+ global centers, saved roughly 4,400 person-hours annually, and built high-throughput backends handling over a million requests per minute.
My focus is microservices, messaging, cloud infrastructure, and secure API design—paired with mentoring, rigorous code review, and long-term architectural consistency.
What i do
I build and lead cloud-native backends and distributed systems in Golang and Java—from architecture through production operations.
Open to selective conversations on architecture, backend leadership, and complex platform work.
Backend, distributed systems, and technical leadership
Deep experience across microservices, messaging, cloud infrastructure, and secure system design—with a focus on measurable outcomes and sustainable engineering culture.
- Design distributed services and agent-based systems
- Implement messaging, gRPC, and protocol buffers
- Harden APIs with zero-trust patterns (e.g. HMAC gateways)
- Optimize throughput, latency, and reliability at scale
- Own end-to-end delivery on cloud-native stacks
What i have done
Selected milestones from production platforms—distributed automation, global scale, and high-throughput backends.
