Top SchoolNikolay Basov is a Senior Backend Developer with 11 years of professional experience and over 8 years specializing in Golang to build scalable, production-grade backend systems. Based in Strasbourg, he has led architecture and implementation of core platform features—SSO, policy/violations, traffic parsers, real-time pipelines and access-control analysis—across security-focused and enterprise product teams. He’s fluent in API-first design, cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes), streaming systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, gRPC) and database-driven feature design for PostgreSQL. Nikolay has a track record of migrating monoliths to microservices, improving developer workflows (Devbox, Docker images) and mentoring engineers to raise team delivery. Notably, he pairs deep protocol-level work (HTTP2/TLS stream assemblers) with product-facing systems like support, chats and BPMN tooling, showing both low-level rigor and user-oriented thinking. Trained in applied mathematics, he brings analytical discipline to complex distributed systems and security-sensitive data pipelines.
