Walton Goga

I’m an experienced Java Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience in designing and deploying high-performance backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture in addition to shipping scalable solutions for distributed systems, optimized for reliability and maintainability in agile environments

I specialize in backend development, event-driven architectures, and seamless system integrations, with a focus on crafting clean, well-documented RESTful APIs. My technical toolkit includes MySQL, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions). I passionately apply TDD and SOLID principles, ensuring code quality at every stage—from architectural design and implementation to deployment and observability.

I also thrive in cross-functional teams, bridging gaps between engineering and business needs to deliver measurable impact. I’m passionate about mentoring peers, optimizing legacy systems, and advocating for scalable engineering practices."
