Staff Software Engineer | Go | Networking & Security (IPsec, DNS, Kubernetes) | Production Systems & Debugging Expert

About

I am a hands-on Staff Software Engineer with ~14 years of experience building and debugging large-scale distributed systems, with a strong focus on networking and infrastructure. My expertise lies in Go-based backend systems, Kubernetes environments, and network protocols including IPsec and DNS. I specialize in solving complex, hard-to-reproduce production issues, improving system reliability, and working on performance-critical paths in real-world deployments. I have worked extensively on customer-impacting systems where stability, scalability, and fast issue resolution are critical. I enjoy diving deep into system internals, troubleshooting challenging problems, and delivering robust solutions in high-pressure environments. Currently, I am building new integrations while also contributing to production systems that handle active customer traffic, focusing on reliability, performance, and rapid issue resolution. Key strengths: Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in distributed systems Deep understanding of networking (IPsec, DNS, secure connectivity) Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native environments Ownership of critical components and production systems I am particularly interested in roles that involve building and scaling infrastructure systems, solving complex networking challenges, and working on high-impact engineering problems.
