Filagot Shewafera T.

I’m a Senior Backend Engineer specializing in Go, payment systems, APIs, and scalable backend services. I build production-ready backend systems using Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker, and REST APIs, with a strong focus on clean architecture, security, reliability, and maintainability. Currently, I’m working on a multi-tenant payment gateway where I’m involved in backend architecture, database design, and development of core financial features including: • Payment processing and payment provider integrations • Merchant wallets and ledger systems • Split payments and scheduled settlements • Payout workflows and reconciliation • Multi-tenant merchant management • Authentication, authorization, roles and permissions • Webhooks and API integrations • API keys, idempotency, retries, and background jobs I’ve also built an SMS management platform using Go, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka, supporting bulk SMS, scheduled campaigns, OTP verification, templates, contact management, sender IDs, subscriptions, wallet credits, and delivery reports. My additional experience includes PHP/Laravel, .NET, React, SQL Server, MySQL, Supabase, Docker, and cloud-based deployments. I’m comfortable working independently or as part of an engineering team, understanding business requirements, designing backend solutions, and turning them into maintainable production systems. If you need a Go backend engineer for APIs, payment systems, fintech platforms, microservices, or other complex backend systems, I’d be happy to discuss your project.
