Summary
👤
SeniorDamien Stamates is a software engineer with a decade of experience building and modernizing distributed systems, currently focused on Go microservices in the New York City area. He has led performance-driven migrations from legacy stacks to Kubernetes-based Go services at firms like TrueFort, NTT DATA, and Clear Street, and has strong hands-on experience with Kafka, NATS, Postgres/Mongo, Dgraph/GraphQL, and observability tooling.
