Hello! I'm A. Samil Bulbul, a Senior Software Engineer with a passion for constructing robust, high-performance systems. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in Go and system design, architecting scalable solutions that solve complex real-world problems. 🚀
My journey has taken me from developing critical infrastructure for smart cities to leading product initiatives in the security sector. I thrive on the challenges of distributed systems and cloud-native technologies, always aiming for efficiency and reliability in every line of code.
Beyond the terminal, I'm an open-source enthusiast and a lifelong learner. When I'm not optimizing backend services, you can find me exploring new tech or enjoying a good cup of coffee ☕.
