OOÜber Oshomo
I’m a hands-on engineering leader who turns complex requirements into rock-solid, scalable platforms—whether powering millions of tax filings or launching a space-booking marketplace. I bring deep expertise in Go, micro-services, and cloud-native architectures, plus a proven track record of taking ideas from zero to production.
What I deliver:
- High-throughput tax services: Architected and maintained mission-critical Go micro-services at Taxfix, ensuring 99.9% uptime with Kubernetes, gRPC, Kafka, and end-to-end observability (Prometheus, Grafana).
- Startup-grade product launches: As Co-Founder & CTO of Spacebook, led the full stack build (Go backend, React frontend, PostgreSQL), payment integration (Stripe), calendar sync, and AWS-based CI/CD pipelines—onboarding venue partners and early users.
- Performance & reliability at scale: Profiled and optimized core systems to cut latency by 40%, introduced caching and batch jobs, and built fault-tolerant patterns (circuit breakers, health checks).
- Cross-functional leadership: Translate tax regulations or market insights into clear engineering roadmaps; partner with product, finance, and DevOps to ship on time and on budget.
- Mentorship & best practices: Coach teams in Go idioms, clean architecture, test-driven development, and automated pipelines—raising code quality and delivery velocity.
- Compliance & security: Embed GDPR, data encryption, and vulnerability scanning into the SDLC, keeping customer trust front and center.
Why I stand out:
- I thrive at the intersection of technical depth and business impact—building systems that not only work flawlessly but also drive revenue and regulatory compliance.
- My entrepreneurial lens means I obsess over unit economics, product–market fit, and pragmatic pivots when needed.
If you need a leader who can own end-to-end architecture, coach your team to excellence, and deliver reliable, high-performance platforms, let’s talk.
