Go backends for high load.
Built to scale, tuned to save.
I make Go services carry millions of requests a day without falling over, and I lead the teams that keep them there. Ten years of backend work, most of it where traffic spikes are normal. Yerevan, remote worldwide.
Where I do my best work
If your project sits outside these domains, I'm probably not your best option, and I'll tell you so in the first five minutes.
Fintech & trading
Exchanges, wallets, payment flows. Latency is money, correctness is non-negotiable.
Travel & booking
Fare search, availability, checkout. Bursty traffic, huge fan-out, flaky third-party APIs.
High-load platforms
Marketplaces, SaaS, edtech at scale. Infra bills that grow slower than traffic.
Selected work
Scaled search to 2M queries a day, then made it 3× faster.
HTTP → SQS migration, leaky-subscription fixes, and a rebuilt Go consumer cut time-to-first-result from 5 seconds to 1.
Cut the customer booking journey time fourfold.
Cache-aside plus deep memory optimization across login, checkout, and booking. Daily out-of-memory restarts gone for good.
The backend behind 20× user growth.
Built and scaled core wallet and trading features as monthly active users grew twentyfold. Growth customers notice and the backend never lets them feel.
Ten times less traffic, none of the staleness.
Caching and request collapsing cut calls to partner systems by 4–10×. Availability stayed fresh enough that nobody downstream noticed.
How I work
- 01Measure before optimizing. Every number on this page started with a profile, a trace, or a bill.
- 02Boring tech, sharp execution. Proven tools pushed hard beat novel tools used timidly.
- 03Teams outlast code. Mentoring and honest reviews compound longer than any service.
