# Senior Backend Engineer with 8+ years at sea, specializing in Golang and distributed architectures. I design, scale and maintain high-throughput microservice ecosystems with modern API gateways, containers and automated CI/CD.

Champion of quality and proactive observability — automated test pyramids, real-time alerting, DDD and clean architecture to keep ships decoupled and ports open. Fluent in English (C1), targeting high-impact remote roles across the EU.

heading
Senior Backend Engineer — Golang fleet command, observability bridge, CI/CD rigging.
  1. Architected a 5-microservice Golang fleet

    Enforced strict Handler-Service-Repository layering for independent scaling and bulletproof decoupling.

  2. Forged automated CI/CD pipelines (Bamboo)

    Continuous E2E patrols firing every 15 minutes — regressions spotted before the kraken wakes.

  3. Built the observability bridge

    Grafana + Graylog + Checkmk — slashed MTTD, resolved incidents before users noticed the storm.

  4. Commanded the Kong API Gateway

    Traffic routing, rate-limiting and auth across the entire microservice port.

  5. Owned infra & secrets with SaltStack

    Held the keys to the vault — secure credential management across private hosts.

  6. Boarded legacy Java monoliths

    Rewrote high-traffic Spring Boot components into lean Go binaries. Memory down. Speed up.
