I build distributed systems that still work when networks don’t.
Currently working on:
- Payment systems that handle real-time and offline scenarios
- Kubernetes control planes (CRDs, reconciliation loops)
- Observability pipelines (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus)
- Build concurrent, fault-tolerant services in Go (goroutines, gRPC, event-driven patterns)
- Design Kubernetes control planes (CRDs, controllers, reconciliation loops)
- Develop observability pipelines using OpenTelemetry and Prometheus
- Work across cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS) with Terraform and containerized workloads
-
Payment Acceptance Solution: Real-time transaction orchestration across GCP and on-prem infrastructure. WebSocket-based communication with PIN-pad devices, with offline fallback (SAF). Built with OpenTelemetry + Prometheus for production observability and PCI-compliant flows.
-
Cloud Telemetry Platform: Kubernetes-native telemetry control plane using OpenTelemetry on GDC. Designed OTLP pipelines, sampling strategies, and reliable data delivery for edge environments.
-
Kubernetes CRD Ecosystem: Built custom CRDs and controllers using client-go and Operator SDK, implementing automated reconciliation loops and secure OIDC-based integrations.
| Repo | Description | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Otel-k8s-controller | Kubernetes native OTel Collector operator with CRD driven pipeline config | Go · Operator SDK · OTLP |
| store-forward-otel | Reliable telemetry delivery for edge, buffers OTLP spans and replays on reconnect | Go · GDC · OpenTelemetry |
| grpc-gateway-patterns | gRPC and REST gateway patterns with Protocol Buffers and K8s manifests | Go · gRPC · Protobuf |
| golang-engineering-lab | Curated backend patterns explaining concurrency, auth, observability, system design | Go · Gin · PostgreSQL |
Simple systems scale.
Clever systems fail at 2 AM.
I prefer:
- explicit over implicit
- predictable over magical
- observable over “it should work”

If you're building something interesting in distributed systems, observability, or payments. I'm always open to good conversations.
