EventPark

Built Go and PostgreSQL services for an event platform with a large, spiky user base. Most of the work was tuning queries and indexes so registration held up under high concurrency.

Added distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry so we could actually see what was slow across services, instead of guessing.

Put Redis in front of session data and short-lived event data to take load off the primary database.

Used LocalStack and MinIO in development so the local setup matched AWS closely enough that fewer things broke in production.

Containerized the services with Docker and owned the AWS deploys and CI/CD pipeline.
