About section
Before
I'm a passionate software engineer who loves solving problems and building cool things. I've worked on a bunch of projects and I'm always learning new technologies. In my spare time I enjoy hiking and coffee.
After
Backend engineer with 6 years building high-throughput payments and platform services in Go and Python on AWS. I design distributed systems that stay fast and correct under load — event-driven pipelines, idempotent APIs, and observability that catches issues before customers do. Recently led a service migration that cut p99 latency 40% and halved on-call pages. I'm looking for a senior backend or platform role where reliability at scale is the point, not an afterthought.
Why it lands more recruiter searches
- Adds the exact keywords recruiters filter on — 'Senior Backend Engineer', 'Distributed Systems', 'Go', 'Python', 'AWS' — none of which appeared before.
- Replaces a vague 'passionate engineer' About with the seniority signal and stack a boolean recruiter search actually matches.
- Names a quantified outcome (p99 latency −40%), which recruiters screen for when shortlisting from search results.
