I've been building backend systems since 2022. Started with internships, learned how production systems actually behave, and worked my way up to owning architecture in production environments. My stack has evolved over time. Node.js early on, then Go during a microservice migration at RabbitLoader. Different technologies, same core obsession: make it fast, make it reliable, make it maintainable. Some things I've shipped that I'm proud of. A critical CSS extraction pipeline that improved LCP by 26%. A microservice migration from PHP to Go that bumped throughput by 26%. An async pipeline with retries, batching, and failure recovery that holds up under load. Protobuf adoption that cut payload size and improved inter-service communication across the board. I like problems where the answer isn't obvious. I don't care how bad the first design is. I care whether it's easy to refactor, easy to scale, and easy to trace when something breaks. That's what actually matters at the start.
