• Design, develop, and optimize scalable backend services using Golang (Go).
  
• Design robust REST/gRPC APIs, database models, microservices, and event-driven workflows.
  
• Build distributed systems with fault tolerance, reliable communication, and appropriate data consistency guarantees.
  
• Make architecture decisions balancing performance, scalability, consistency, security, and maintainability.
  
• Optimize backend services for low latency, high throughput, and efficient resource utilization.
  
• Improve monitoring, logging, metrics, and alerting.
  
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and cloud infrastructure.
  
• Mentor teammates through design discussions, code reviews, and hands-on technical guidance.
