   I work at IBM as a Software Engineer developing microservices, API servers, and cloud-native components that power the deployment and management of large-scale systems on IBM Cloud. My work involves designing and building event-driven services and Kubernetes operators that automate complex workflows such as certificate rotation, pod restarts, and dynamic configuration reloads. I architect and develop microservices from scratch in Go, leveraging advanced concurrency patterns, gRPC for inter-service communication, and Kafka/Redis/RabbitMQ for event-driven messaging and streaming pipelines. I integrate closely with IBM Cloud Secrets Manager for secure TLS certificate lifecycle management, embedding practices such as least privilege, secret rotation, and threat modeling. I also contribute to custom Kubernetes operator development using controller-runtime, CRDs, informers, and reconcilers to manage IBM Cloud services at scale.In addition, I design and maintain resilient backend systems with PostgreSQL (SQL optimization, data modeling), and implement secure APIs with net/http, chi, and gin. Our new architecture focuses on building distributed, scalable, event-driven services deployed on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, with CI/CD automation, GitOps, and strong collaboration across product, SRE, and platform teams. I actively participate in design reviews, roadmap discussions, and architectural decisions, ensuring reliability, performance, and security of deployed services.
