Design and optimize concurrent workflows using goroutines, channels, synchronization primitives, and context propagation.
Analyze and optimize slice usage, memory allocations, and data structures for performance-critical paths.
Modernize runtime components with focus on modularity, structured architecture, and observability.
Improve trigger configuration and execution across webhooks and polling mechanisms.
Integrate and optimize data storage solutions (Postgres, S3, DynamoDB, Kafka, ClickHouse).
Identify bottlenecks, race conditions, deadlocks, and performance degradation in distributed systems.
