Backend Engineering
I build solid, high-performance backend systems that are easy to maintain and understand. Clean architecture and clear domain boundaries come first.

About
I'm Misbahul, a software engineer who loves building things that just work
I've spent years building systems that hold up under pressure. Not just systems that work in demos, but ones that survive real production traffic, edge cases, and 3am on-call alerts.
I got into software engineering because I genuinely love how systems fit together. There's something satisfying about designing a service that handles thousands of requests gracefully, or figuring out why a database query is slow and fixing it properly. My core stack is Go and TypeScript. I reach for Go when I need raw performance and TypeScript when I want a rich ecosystem and fast iteration.
Outside of the code itself, I care a lot about clarity. Clear module boundaries, sensible abstractions, and documentation that future-me (or a teammate) will actually thank me for. I don't chase patterns for their own sake. DDD, CQRS, and event sourcing all have their place, but I only add complexity when it solves a real problem.
- Go & TypeScript microservices that scale
- gRPC & REST APIs with clean contracts
- Event-driven messaging with Kafka & RabbitMQ
- PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB used where they fit best
- Deployment & CI/CD with Docker, GitHub Actions & AWS

How I work
I like to understand the problem before touching the keyboard. I ask questions, sketch out the data flow, and think about failure modes early, not as an afterthought. I work well solo and in teams, and I'm the kind of person who writes a PR description that actually explains the why, not just the what.
Expertise
Engineering Expertise
Specialized capabilities crafted through real-world backend architecture, API engineering, and distributed system design.
02
API & Microservices
I design dual REST and gRPC APIs and decompose complex domains into loosely coupled services that deploy independently with clean contracts.
03
Event-Driven Systems
I design reliable async systems with Kafka and RabbitMQ, focusing on message durability, idempotency and handling failures gracefully.
04
System Design & Architecture
I design scalable systems while thinking about failures, consistency and performance early. I use patterns like DDD, CQRS and Outbox only when they truly help.
05
Database Design & Caching
I create efficient data models based on real usage. Strong experience with PostgreSQL indexing, MongoDB modeling and practical Redis caching.
06
Cloud & DevOps
I containerize apps with Docker, automate deployments with GitHub Actions, and deploy on AWS with production readiness in mind.
