Hi, I'm David

Software Engineer | Transitioning into Backend & Distributed Systems

After a career in the military, I am pivoting into Backend Engineering. I combine years of professional reliability and project management with a deep technical focus on the Go ecosystem and modern web architecture.


What I'm Focused on Right Now

  • Full-Stack Development: Building Evalia, an evaluation tool using Svelte 5 and Go, to learn the nuances of production-grade SaaS.
  • Backend Mastery: Completing the Boot.dev Backend Engineering track, specifically deep-diving into RabbitMQ for message-driven systems.
  • Open Source: Documenting my learning journey through the Elvan Forge organization.

The Tech I'm Learning & Using

  • Languages: Go (Golang), SQL, Pyhon.
  • Frontend: Svelte 5, Tailwind CSS.
  • Messaging: RabbitMQ (Currently mastering routing, exchanges, and reliability patterns).
  • Tools: Docker, Git, PostgreSQL.

My Philosophy

I believe in Security by Design and Data Stewardship. My goal isn't just to write code that "works," but to build systems that are secure, ethical, and maintainable for the long term.
