Senior Software Engineer | Combating Bots & Fraud at Scale @ Arkose Labs | Golang • Kubernetes • AWS

About

I build scalable backend systems that handle millions of requests while solving complex technical challenges. As a Senior Software Engineer, I specialize in designing and developing distributed systems using Go, Kubernetes, and AWS. My work spans fraud prevention, observability, and cloud-native architecture—always with a focus on performance, reliability, and scalability. What I bring to the table: - Expertise in building systems from 0→1 and scaling them globally - Strong foundation in microservices architecture, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure - Hands-on experience with the full development lifecycle—from design to deployment to on-call My technical foundation: Languages: Golang , JavaScript, Java, Python, Node.js, React JS Cloud & Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, AWS (Lambda, ECS, S3, DynamoDB, CloudFront etc.), Terraform Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB, ScyllaDB, MongoDB DevOps & Observability: CI/CD pipelines, EFK Stack, Splunk, CloudWatch My career journey: Started writing MERN stack applications, learning the basics of frontend and backend development. Moved into voice automation, building bots that handled 100K+ calls daily. Dove deeper into backend engineering, focusing on Go, Kubernetes, and cloud architecture. Today, I design and build distributed systems that process millions of requests across global infrastructure. Beyond writing code, I enjoy: → Mentoring junior engineers and interns → Presenting technical proposals to leadership → Optimizing development workflows and release processes → Being the on-call engineer who actually fixes things Industries I've worked in: Cybersecurity • Voice Automation • E-commerce Actively expanding my cloud infrastructure expertise, with CKAD and CKA certifications in progress. Let's connect if you're working on interesting problems in backend engineering, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or scaling challenges.
