I am a systems and backend engineer focused on high-throughput, cloud-native infrastructure in Go. I operate at the intersection of network sockets, zero-allocation memory pooling (sync.Pool), cache-line contention, and high-concurrency runtime primitives.
- Upstream contributor to Prometheus, Thanos, and OpenCost.
- Building benchmarked, low-latency data plane components (L4 reverse proxies, lock-striped rate limiters, concurrent storage engines).
- Relentless focus on correctness: race verification (
go test -race), heap profiling (pprof), and table-driven test suites.

🔹 PortPulse · High-Performance Cloud-Native API Gateway
A production-grade API gateway and Layer-4 reverse proxy engineered for minimal overhead under heavy connection loads.
- Lock-Striped Rate Limiter: 32-shard partitioned concurrency model benchmarked at ~7.95M ops/s, completely eliminating global mutex contention.
- Observability & Draining: Integrated gRPC distributed tracing context propagation and clean graceful socket draining on termination.

🔹 GoBalance · Zero-Allocation L4 TCP Reverse Proxy
A high-throughput Layer 4 TCP load balancer written in Go with least-connections routing, dynamic health-check daemon, and live Prometheus metric exposition.
- Zero-Allocation Data Plane: Benchmarked at 26 ns/op with 0 heap allocations/op using a global 32KB
sync.Poolbuffer recycling pipeline. - Reliability: Built with atomic counters,
net/http/pprofruntime profiling, and graceful socket connection draining. - Stack: Go · TCP Sockets · sync.Pool · Prometheus · pprof · Benchmarks
🔹 ByteCache · Concurrent In-Memory Key-Value Store
An in-memory key-value database running over raw TCP sockets with active background TTL expiration.
- Throughput: Clocking 50M+ reads/sec (20.4 ns/op) and 31M+ writes/sec (31.8 ns/op) under
-raceverification with zero heap allocations on hot paths. - Concurrency: Thread-safe read/write locking via sharded
sync.RWMutex, active background eviction daemon preventing memory leaks. - Stack: Go · Raw TCP Protocol · sync.RWMutex · Cobra CLI · Benchmarks
🔹 PulseGuard · Autonomous SRE Incident Response Platform
A multi-tenant production console that ingests raw production logs, aggregates errors using SHA-256 signatures and sliding-window rate-limiting, and utilizes an AI agent with RAG (pgvector) to draft hotfixes.
