Yusuf Akinleye

Backend & distributed-systems engineer. Go.

I build layered modular monoliths in Go, and split them into services when the workload earns it. Most of my work is about staying correct under load: durable job queues, idempotent money movement, JWT-derived multi-tenancy, and typed errors at every boundary.

Currently learning Zig.

Focus

• Distributed systems & reliability: durable job queues, idempotency, circuit breakers, graceful shutdown
• Backend platforms: payments, AML/RegTech, real-time media, multi-tenant EdTech
• AI systems: multimodal gateways and agent automation with human takeover
