Go backend developer

Building reliable services without making the codebase miserable.

I’m Alex. I work primarily with Go and build APIs, background workers, PostgreSQL-backed services, and infrastructure-oriented systems.

See what I’m building GitHub

writing backend code and fixing what I broke yesterday.

about

I like backend systems with clear ownership, explicit dependencies, predictable failure modes, and tests that describe behaviour rather than implementation details.

My current focus is concurrency, PostgreSQL, message queues, observability, networking, and production-oriented testing.

main project

Pulsewarden

↗

A production-oriented uptime monitoring platform written in Go, designed around separate API and worker services.

foundation

  • API and background worker applications
  • PostgreSQL repository layer
  • Use-case oriented architecture
  • Structured logging and request IDs

reliability

  • Health and readiness endpoints
  • Graceful shutdown
  • Unit and integration tests
  • Race detector and static analysis
Go PostgreSQL REST Workers Docker

current focus: monitor scheduling and check execution

how I approach backend development

func buildService() {
    keepInterfacesSmall()
    makeDependenciesExplicit()
    handleShutdownGracefully()
    testBehaviourNotImplementation()
    avoidLeakingGoroutines()
}

Let’s build something reliable.

Open to remote Go backend opportunities and meaningful open-source collaborations.
