About
I work on backend systems used in real products. A lot of that means APIs, payments, billing, background jobs, and the infrastructure around them.
I have worked mostly in startups and small teams, alongside CTOs and senior engineers at companies like Showpass, Alpaca Markets, Pricematepay, Navigate, and Neoway. The stack has usually been Go, Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, and GCP. I prefer systems that stay simple and reliable.
