Backend engineer with 20+ years of experience and 7+ years of production Go. I ship SaaS products end to end as a solo founder (Market Verdict, MyLoanKit, dRdN): Go APIs, PostgreSQL, Stripe billing, container deploys and monitoring. Before that I built a Go payments-rules engine for healthcare invoices at Nomi Health, gRPC APIs and ETL on Kubernetes/GCP at DYL, and a RabbitMQ pipeline at ~30M messages/day at Metals.com. Strengths: debugging complex systems to root cause, refactoring legacy code, performance work, and test design. I work daily with AI coding agents in a test-gated CI workflow. Also Python, Java (Sun Certified) and TypeScript.
