About Me

Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in building scalable, high-performance backend systems and APIs. Currently at Kiakia Finance, where I architect and develop secure microservices for digital financial solutions, including payment processing, virtual cards, and wallet management systems that handle thousands of concurrent transactions.

I specialize in designing distributed systems with Go (Golang), implementing robust API architectures, and maintaining production-grade applications in cloud environments (AWS, Azure). My expertise spans the full development lifecycle—from system design and implementation to containerization, CI/CD automation, and performance optimization.
