About me

232 sessions delivered. 4.8/5 rating. Real engineers, real outcomes. Hey, I'm Archit 👋 I've been writing Go in production for the last 6+ years and shipping software for over a decade. Currently a Lead Software Engineer at Oracle, where I spend my days deep in distributed systems, performance bottlenecks, and the kind of architecture decisions that look obvious in hindsight and impossible in the moment. Here's the thing about backend engineering — most of it isn't taught well. Tutorials show you how, but rarely why. You end up with engineers who can wire up a microservice but freeze when asked why they chose channels over mutexes, or how their system survives a 3 AM Redis outage. That gap is where I work. Who I help: Junior and mid-level devs aiming for senior backend roles — and need someone to actually challenge their thinking, not just nod along Engineers stuck in Go — concurrency confusion, performance issues, "my code works but feels wrong" moments Folks prepping for system design interviews who've watched 47 YouTube videos and still don't feel ready (yes, I know, painfully familiar 😅) What you can expect from a session with me: No fluff. No reading you a Wikipedia page. We'll dig into your actual code, your actual system, your actual interview rounds — and I'll tell you what I'd do, what I've seen go wrong, and the trade-offs nobody mentions until production breaks. A bit more about me: Run a YouTube channel where I break down Go and system design without the "10x engineer" theatrics Maintain open source Go libraries (a generic data structures package and a task scheduler — both on GitHub @architagr) Write The Weekly Golang Journal — practical, no-hype Go content AWS Certified, deeply opinionated about cloud-native architecture What I won't do: Tell you what you want to hear. If your resume is weak, I'll say so. If your system design has a glaring flaw, we'll find it together. The whole point of paying for honest feedback is getting honest feedback. Book a session if you want clarity, not cheerleading. 🚀
