Summary
Geoff Safcik is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience designing and shipping high-performance, cloud-native distributed systems, currently building high-throughput data processing platforms. He specializes in Go, SQL/NoSQL databases, microservices, and AWS, and has a track record of decoupling monoliths into resilient services and launching compliant infrastructure for new markets. Geoff pairs hands-on engineering—authoring 20+ containerized Go microservices and a Go-based LDAP proxy that enabled MFA adoption—with pragmatic product focus, improving performance metrics (e.g., 30x admin search speed-ups and high webhook throughput). He mentors teams, reduces operational toil through automation, and translates complex business requirements into elegant, testable architectures. Despite a design background (BFA in Graphic Design), he brings a strong systems mindset and user-focused sensibility to backend engineering and platform reliability.
