SYSTEM PROFILE
THE ARCHITECT
Software engineer building production web applications and systems-level software end-to-end. Specialised in concurrent backends with Go, modern frontends with Next.js, and security-first architecture — from a zero-knowledge encrypted cloud platform to a real-time chat system across web and mobile, plus client products spanning e-commerce, POS, HRMS, and real estate. Comfortable owning every layer: schema design, backend services, client implementations, and deployment.
