I'm Uthman Oladele, a backend developer who builds production-grade infrastructure in Go โ rate limiters, distributed job queues, and programming languages.
What I'm working on:
- Systems programming
- Distributed systems
- System design patterns
If you have opportunities or interesting projects, I'd like to hear from you.
