About

I have strong experience in building distributed systems using Java Spring Boot and Golang. I am skilled in using Docker and Kubernetes to create effective solutions. In DNS security, I improved traffic management by adding advanced features. I have also optimized API response times, updated old code for serverless platforms, and boosted performance. Additionally, I migrated old Perl code to Go and built systems using microservices architecture. Technologies I work with include Java, Spring Boot, Golang, Docker, Kafka, Kubernetes, Redis, and Cassandra.
