Senior Backend Engineer | Go · Python · AI/RAG Infrastructure

I architect high-performance distributed systems in Go and Python — focused on real-time infrastructure, low-latency data pipelines, and productionizing ML-integrated backends.

Currently a Senior Backend Engineer at IQ Labs (Sulaymaniyah, Iraq), open to senior roles — fully remote or relocation to EU / Japan.

• 🚦 Built a real-time vehicle tracking system handling 5,000+ concurrent WebSocket connections with <200ms P95 latency and zero data loss under peak load
• 🤖 Engineered and productionized an ML/RAG platform using Milvus, custom embeddings, and re-ranking models — reduced response latency from ~2s → <400ms
• ⚡ Migrated inter-service communication from REST → gRPC, significantly reducing cross-service overhead
• 🧾 Built a vendor-agnostic billing middleware that cut reconciliation workload by ~70% and vendor onboarding from weeks → hours
• 🌍 Deployed a nationwide IoT telemetry ingestion pipeline for air quality sensor data
• ☁️ 8+ years managing production Linux servers on Linode/Akamai; provisioned AWS EC2 GPU instances for ML model hosting
