Independent Software Engineering • Rooted in Rio Grande do SulSarkis.dev
"The roots of tradition. The wings of freedom."
"High-concurrency systems, client-owned engineering."
Architectural consulting and high-performance software engineering for high-growth tech companies and scale-ups—built on compiled Go backends, resilient cloud infrastructure, and complete code sovereignty.
The Spirit of the Quero-Quero
Southern Lapwing • Symbol of Rio Grande do SulIn the pampas of Rio Grande do Sul, the Quero-Quero is legendary: a vigilant sentinel that fiercely defends its ground, protects its territory and community, and flies free with untamed independence.
Sarkis.dev embodies this guardian mentality. We defend our clients from predatory SaaS lock-ins, exorbitant recurring fees, and opaque vendor traps. We guard your independence while elevating your business with world-class engineering.
Constantly alert, monitoring uptime, security, and cloud cost efficiency.
Zero lock-in architectures. You retain 100% control of your codebase, keys, and cloud data.
Standing up against proprietary vendor traps and bloated software monopolies.
A wild bird that answers to no master. You own 100% of your source code and data.
How I Work with Clients
Five fundamental principles that govern every line of code, infrastructure decision, and client relationship.
Freedom & Independence
Your Code, Your Destiny- 100% Code Ownership: You hold full copyright and source code rights from Day 1.
- Zero Lock-in: Migrate away at any point with zero technical, legal, or monetary obstacles.
- No Hidden Costs: Clean, transparent pricing without recurring per-seat penalties.
Enterprise Go Engineering
Sub-Millisecond Execution at Scale- Robust Engineering: The same architectural discipline utilized for S&P 500 platforms (Microsoft, The Home Depot) and high-scale delivery tech (Pedidos Ya).
- High Concurrency: Low-latency Go microservices engineered with Clean Architecture, Goroutines, and zero-allocation pipelines.
- Measurable Impact: Proven 60% query latency reduction and 4,000+ concurrent user load testing with zero downtime.
Adaptability & Flexibility
Tailored to Real Needs, Not Vendor Interests- Deployment Freedom: Self-hosted, managed cloud, or hybrid setups.
- Lean Infrastructure: Extreme cloud cost efficiency without wasting money on idle resources.
- Fit-for-Purpose: Solutions designed strictly around your business workflow.
Radical Transparency & Trust
Direct, Honest Technical Dialogue- No Middlemen: You communicate directly with the senior engineer building your system.
- Educational Approach: You understand exactly what is being created and why.
- Straightforward Contracts: No contractual fine print or hostage data scenarios.
Enduring Production Reliability
Systems Built to Weather Any Surge- Resilient Infrastructure: Hardened setups that survive peak traffic surges with proactive Grafana observability.
- Shared Success: Your system's long-term operational health and uptime is our proudest metric.
- Direct Accountability: Honorable handshakes, clear technical boundaries, and dedicated senior engineering support.
