Shambel Amare H.

Senior Golang Engineer

I build backend systems in Golang for production load, and I design the cloud infrastructure they run on. Most of my work centers on high-throughput, mission-critical systems: • Payment and wallet flows • Double-entry ledgers • Real-time systems & event-driven pipelines I focus on the kind of work where correctness matters, and where a bad architecture decision gets expensive six months later. Golang is my primary language. I also work in TypeScript with NestJS when a project calls for it, and Python as a reliable third. On the infrastructure side, I work across AWS and GCP, using Docker and Kubernetes to ensure everything scales cleanly. 🛠️ TECHNOLOGIES I WORK WITH: • Languages: Go (Golang), TypeScript (NestJS), Python • Event/Messaging: Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, gRPC • Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch • Cloud/DevOps: AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions • Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging I do my best work when involved early, while the architecture and data model are still open. If a system is already built and struggling, I can help diagnose and fix the root cause rather than patching around it. I document what I build so your team can easily maintain it. I communicate often, ask the foundational questions early to eliminate assumptions, and will tell you directly when I think an approach is a bad idea. Tell me what you are building, and I will let you know if I am a good fit.
