About this gig

I design and build real-time IoT data pipelines in Go engineered to handle continuous device data without falling over at scale.

I architected a telematics platform processing real-time GPS data from over 20,000 devices transmitting continuously. I built a custom reliable-UDP protocol to prevent data loss on unstable connections, and a cost-efficient cold-storage architecture (S3 + indexed lookups) that avoided runaway database costs as data volume grew.

I've also applied this same expertise in healthcare: leading the redesign of a monolithic health IoT platform integrating device data from Dexcom, Medtronic, and other connected devices into a scalable microservices architecture, including a FHIR implementation in Go for clinical data interoperability. This is a rare combination, since most FHIR tooling in the market is Java or Python-based.

Whether your devices are vehicles, sensors, wearables, or medical hardware, I can design the ingestion, storage, and retrieval architecture to handle real-world scale reliably, and without unnecessary cost.

Let's talk about what your device data actually needs.

With 17 years of software engineering experience — 9 of them specializing in Go — I build production-grade backend systems: microservices, real-time APIs, and distributed architecture that scale. I work across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis, with deep experience in Kubernetes, Docker, and Kafka for reliable deployment and real-time data processing. I've architected systems handling millions of users and high-throughput real-time data — from telematics platforms to fintech and healthcare integrations. Let's build something that scales.
