Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoman Sharkov is a seasoned software engineer based in Zurich with a decade of experience building high-performance backend systems, microservices, and developer-facing tooling primarily in Go. He has led small teams to deliver production-grade products like a low-latency GraphQL proxy and crafted performance-critical components including a custom Go GraphQL lexer and optimized proxy server code. An active open-source maintainer and Go evangelist, Roman authored the Go2 immutability proposal and libraries such as webwire-go, and experiments with a new statically-typed functional language for graph API backends. His work spans system design, profiling-driven optimization, and developer UX—he’s comfortable from codegen and WASM frontends to event-sourcing/CQRS architectures. Known for pragmatic micro-optimizations and deep language-level thinking, he combines hands-on engineering with research-driven experimentation.
