It’s a solution that transcribes voice messages on Signal to save time.
I can support you with:
- Design, development, and maintenance of Go / Golang backends
- Microservices architecture and distributed solutions, containerized with Docker and orchestrated with Kubernetes
- Technical and functional refactoring of existing applications to improve quality, maintainability, and performance
- API development (REST, gRPC)
- Integration with distributed systems (NATS) and databases/caches (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis)
- Deployment automation and CI/CD (GitHub / GitLab)
- Performance optimization, scalability, and application security
- Migration of monoliths to modern architectures
- Monitoring, tracing, and system observability
- Code reviews, documentation, and clean code best practices
- Unit and integration testing to ensure quality and robustness
- Mentoring and technical guidance for less experienced developers
I am autonomous, productive, and results-driven.
My work has been recognized by colleagues for its quality and efficiency, including projects on complex, high-performance, and distributed systems.
