Re Staff Platform Engineer
I’m applying for Staff Platform Engineer at Orbit Pay. At Northline Commerce I own the checkout API in Go at roughly 2M requests/day, and I cut p99 latency by about 40% by fixing slow PostgreSQL queries and tightening connection pooling.
On payments on-call, after timeout incidents I shipped retries and idempotency keys; Sev-2 pages fell by about half across two quarters. I also mentor three engineers on service boundaries and helped ship two roadmap items without adding headcount.
Java, AWS, Docker, and Git are part of my daily work with Go. I do not have production Kubernetes ownership or a Terraform lead role — those gaps are real, and I would rather say so than invent them.
