• Write production-grade TypeScript (Bun runtime) and Go.
• Build microservices with Express/Elysia (TS) and Fiber (Go).
• Optimize schemas, queries, caching, and background jobs.
• Deploy containerized services to Kubernetes using GitHub Actions.
• Manage AWS infrastructure (SQS, EventBridge, S3); exposure to Azure/GCP is a plus.
• Maintain documentation, review designs, and mentor engineers.
