Summary
Ravyar Tahir is a senior backend engineer with 8 years of experience building low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems using Go and Python. He has shipped production real-time infrastructure—most notably a vehicle-tracking platform sustaining 5,000+ concurrent WebSocket connections with <200ms P95—and productionized ML/RAG services with Milvus and custom embeddings to cut response times from ~2s to <400ms. He routinely replaces REST with gRPC for cross-service efficiency, architects vendor-agnostic billing middleware that slashed reconciliation work by ~70%, and maintains 99.99% uptime across critical services. Equally comfortable migrating legacy PHP stacks to Go/Python and provisioning GPU-backed inference in AWS, he combines systems-level performance tuning with pragmatic product delivery. An open-source author of go-arabic-reshaper, he brings niche expertise in accurate Arabic/Kurdish/Persian text rendering for PDFs and images. Open to senior backend roles remotely or relocating to the EU or Japan.
