Staff Software Engineer — Go & distributed systems behind live video at national scale. Now going deep on agentic AI.
15+ years in backend, 12 of them in Go, the last 8 in high-scale distributed systems. The long version lives at venceslau.dev — the background there is a live Raft-style leader election, if you want to watch a cluster argue with itself.
Public Go work:
- ynab.go — complete, contract-tested Go client for the YNAB API. Zero dependencies, every response validated against the vendored OpenAPI spec on live runs.
- singleflight — type-safe generic wrapper around
golang.org/x/sync/singleflight.
Most of my production work belongs to employers — happy to walk through any of it. Email's on the site.
