Proficient Golang developer with 4+ years of experience building scalable backend microservices at Capital One. Specializing in cloud-native architecture, AI/ML integration, AWS, Kubernetes, and full-stack development.
About Me
I'm a passionate Golang developer with over 4 years of hands-on experience building production-scale backend systems. Currently at Capital One in Plano, TX, I architect enterprise-scale platforms like GreenHouse (test automation) and Trace Tool (distributed tracing with AI-powered root cause analysis).
My expertise spans the full backend spectrum — from designing efficient DynamoDB schemas and Kafka event streams to implementing RAG-based AI/ML systems with vector databases. I thrive in cloud-native environments and love solving complex distributed systems problems.
Beyond the backend, I build React/TypeScript frontends with TanStack Query and Jotai, integrate observability with Splunk, New Relic, and OpenTelemetry, and champion BDD testing via Godog. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Northern Illinois University.

Experience
Golang Developer
- Architected GreenHouse, an enterprise-scale test automation platform supporting 1000+ concurrent executions with queuing and worker pools, achieving 60% reduction in integration testing time.
- Built Trace Tool, an end-to-end distributed tracing system tracking application flow across 20+ microservices with interactive graph rendering and real-time service interaction monitoring.
- Developed AI-powered Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using RAG with vector databases to analyze historical trace data, reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by 70%.
- Integrated AI-powered error categorization using LLM integration to automatically classify test failures and reduce manual triage time by analyzing error patterns and stack traces.
- Built React/TypeScript frontends with TanStack Query for API state management and Jotai for atomic state, plus Playwright end-to-end tests achieving TMM Level 4 compliance.
- Designed and optimized DynamoDB schemas with GSIs, implemented async background task processing using Golang worker pools and Goroutines for thousands of concurrent requests.
- Implemented Capital One's "One Pipeline" CI/CD framework with automated rollbacks, security scans, compliance checks, and OpenTelemetry instrumentation across all services.
Golang Developer
- Designed and developed scalable backend services in Go to support cloud security and observability solutions.
- Implemented gRPC and RESTful microservices with Gorilla MUX, applied Goroutines, channels, and Singleton/Interface design patterns.
- Built Golang services with go-routines to produce and consume Kafka topics for real-time user record updates.
- Configured MQTT brokers with publish/subscribe patterns for IoT device communication with retained message support.
- Integrated SonarQube for automated static code analysis and ensured code quality through continuous inspection.
- Leveraged Kubernetes and Docker for CI/CD runtime environments and integrated Amazon Connect with AWS Lambda and DynamoDB.
Java / Golang Testing Developer
- Developed and maintained test automation frameworks for backend banking applications validating RESTful APIs built with Spring Boot and Golang.
- Contributed to successful migration of legacy Java applications to Golang with robust unit and integration test coverage.
- Implemented CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins integrating automated tests using Java, Selenium, and shell scripts.
- Used Apache Kafka to simulate and test streaming scenarios including user activity logging and transaction processing.
- Built test data generators and harnesses to validate payment flows, PIN pad integrations, and customer data processing.
- Participated in performance and load testing of payment APIs simulating high-volume transaction loads.
Featured Work
Test Data Management (TDM)
Enterprise-grade tool enabling one-click generation of millions of test records with automated test execution workflows. Built custom scheduling, DynamoDB storage, and a React UI dashboard for test operations teams.
End-to-End Tracing System
Distributed tracing platform that tracks application flow across microservices for root cause analysis and debugging. Used Kafka and AWS EventBridge to capture service interactions in real time, surfaced through a React UI.
Gherkin Scenario Builder
BDD-driven test platform allowing users to dynamically define, execute, and track test scenarios via a React UI. Implemented scheduled nightly test runs, auto-updating results in DynamoDB, and a Golang BDD (Godog) backend.
Cloud Security Platform
Scalable backend observability and security platform built in Go supporting real-time anomaly detection. Integrated gRPC microservices, Kafka streams, MQTT IoT device communication, and SonarQube-based code quality gates.
