I'm a backend engineer. At Repovive I joined as the first engineer and built the contest judge and core systems behind a platform with 10,000+ users. On GitLab I mostly work on the Go SDK, the Terraform provider, and the main GitLab codebase. I like Go, C++, and Ruby, and I contribute upstream to LLVM and Swift NIO too.
