Full-Stack Engineer building real-time, event-driven systems in Golang, Laravel, and Vue.js.
3+ years in production at Improwised Technologies. I've led zero-downtime migrations across 10,000+ customers, built a real-time platform solo in Go, and trained 5 engineering cohorts on production SQL.
Work Experience
Production systems I've built and shipped at Improwised Technologies. Filter by skill to find relevant work.
Full-stack developer on a production microservice with asynchronous architecture and auto-scaling.
- Sole owner for months with direct client communication— gathered requirements, handled feature requests, resolved production issues
- API version migration — 50K+ records across 10K+ customers, zero downtime
- Production debugging — log analysis, data inconsistency resolution, async issue tracking
Built the real-time quiz engine from scratch — Go/Fiber backend, Redis pubsub, Vue frontend.
- Took ownership from concept to working engine — built from scratch
- Designed real-time architecture — live answer competition, instant feedback, mid-question dashboards
- Utilised Redis pubsub + WebSockets powered by Go concurrency for real-time sync
Created interactive dashboards using Metabase and SQL for website performance analysis.
- Performed data analysis to find correlations and patterns across web audit data
- Built SQL-driven dashboards for web audit data and performance insights
- Created interactive visualisations using Tableau and Metabase
Designed SQL training curriculum so engineers could contribute from week one.
- Designed SQL onboarding plan — videos, exercises, and use-case-driven learning
- Trained 5 backend engineers to translate business requirements into SQL/backend logic
- Created exercises focused on real-world use cases, not just syntax
Open Source
Side projects I use to test architecture ideas before they show up in production code.
Go/Fiber API + Vue 3 SPA with JWT auth, soft-delete, executor pattern. 90%+ test coverage.
- 90%+ statement coverage on Go and Vue via pre-push hooks
- Cobra CLI for duplicate-order cleanup — idempotent, dry-run mode
- Docker — non-root containers, read-only root, network segmentation
API-only, Blade app, or static frontend from one repo. Sanctum auth, PHPUnit, Sail.
- Service-layer architecture — thin controllers, dedicated Service classes
- Sanctum API auth + session-based Blade auth out of the box
- PHPUnit + Pint enforced, Sail with MySQL, Redis, MinIO
Also explored: a Node.js/React SaaS admin dashboard prototype (test-saas on GitHub)
Who I am beyond the code
I'm a full-stack engineer with 3+ years in production at Improwised Technologies — Golang and Laravel on the backend, Vue 3 and Nuxt on the front end. I led a provider migration covering 50,000+ records across 10,000+ customers with zero data loss, built a real-time quiz platform from scratch in Go, and designed the SQL training program that onboarded 5 cohorts of new engineers using live production data.
I care about systems that don't page anyone at 2 AM — clean event flows, honest logs, and code the next engineer can actually read.
