About Me

I'm a backend engineer with a passion for building scalable, high-performance systems. With expertise in Go and Rust, I specialize in developing resilient microservices architectures that deliver exceptional reliability and throughput.

My experience spans cloud-native development, distributed systems, and performance optimization. I thrive on solving complex technical challenges and creating elegant solutions that maintain clean, maintainable codebases.

When I'm not coding, you can find me contributing to open-source projects, exploring new technologies, or sharing knowledge through technical blogs and community events.
