Senior Software Engineer, Self-learner, Loves programming, the world and you. I have extensive expertise in designing robust and scalable applications, mainly creating and supporting several large-scale distributed systems. Specializes in Go and web technologies that supplement Go back ends. Have a strong familiarity with unit testing, SQL, and NoSQL and am also interested in cross-platform front-end development through Flutter, where I have two years of experience. The most vital skill I acquired was the ability to learn new technologies on the fly and solve engineering problems. I enjoy suggesting creative ideas, difficult challenges and thrives in collaborative team environments of any size.
