Senior Backend & Cloud Profile

Designing resilient, scalable systems with relentless focus on latency reduction, high concurrency, and extreme cost optimization.

Senior Backend Engineer specialized in Golang with 7+ years of experience designing high-performance APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native architectures. Proven results in latency reduction, high-load concurrency handling, and cost optimization across S&P 500 companies (Microsoft, The Home Depot via TCS). Strong background in cloud engineering (Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Azure) and DevOps automation.

High-Concurrency & Latency

Leveraging Go routines, channels, and zero-allocation pipelines to handle intense traffic with microsecond response times.

GCP & Cloud-Native Scale

Production serverless deployments on Google Cloud Run, Firebase Auth, automated CI/CD pipelines, and zero-downtime releases.

Extreme Cost Optimization

Cutting production infrastructure overhead by up to 30% through memory profiling, right-sizing, and clean multi-regional routing.

Zero-Lock-in Philosophy

Architecting decoupled codebases and open-source foundations where clients retain 100% ownership of their data and infrastructure.

Wacucoco

wacucoco.com

Wacucoco is a gamified promotional platform that delivers randomized discount offers to users while granting merchants precise control over their discount distribution inventory (e.g., configuring limits for 10%, 15%, or 25% tiers). The system features a bespoke, N-tier payment gateway proxy that enables each merchant to securely process transactions using their own independently encrypted gateway credentials.

Core Architecture & System Highlights

Engineered for high concurrency, zero-leak credential isolation, and sub-millisecond inventory decisions:

Go Clean Architecture

Strict separation of Domain Entities, Use Cases, Interfaces, and Delivery Layers. Completely framework-agnostic core ensuring high testability, zero bloat, and fast execution.

Golang Clean Arch Domain-Driven
Bespoke N-Tier Payment Proxy

Custom proxy layer enabling every merchant to securely process checkout transactions using their own independently encrypted gateway credentials with zero cross-tenant leakage.

Gateway Proxy Encrypted Keys Tenant Isolation
Google Cloud Run & GCP Stack

Serverless containerized backend auto-scaling instantly during traffic surges. Integrated with Firebase Auth for identity management and Google Engine Run.

Google Cloud Run Firebase Auth Google Engine
Discount Inventory Engine

High-speed quota validation backed by Redis. Merchants define precise distribution limits (10%, 15%, 25% tiers) guaranteed without concurrency race conditions.
