Dawit Sørensen-Achebe_

Staff Backend Engineer, distributed systems

# Backend engineer with ten years of experience building payment and event-streaming systems in Go and Kotlin. Enjoys the unglamorous parts: migrations nobody wants, on-call that lets people sleep, and write-ups that explain why. Has led teams of up to seven engineers without giving up writing code.
