Description

Senior engineer with 10+ years experience. I build event-driven microservices with Go, Kafka, gRPC, Kotlin, Java and PostgreSQL at scale.

I'm taking on short-term Go/Kafka consulting for the next couple of months. If your team needs help with microservices, event-driven systems, architecture reviews or anything related to backend development, I'd love to chat. Also happy for referrals.
