Summary
🎓
Top SchoolTarlan Askaruly is a backend engineer with eight years of practical experience, currently building distributed systems at ByteDance while finishing a Computer Science degree at NYU Abu Dhabi. He has strong hands-on expertise in Go, gRPC, microservices, and observability, with measurable wins like cutting interservice latency by 40% and automating moderation to save 90% of manual review time. His internships show a pattern of improving reliability and security—migrating REST to gRPC, introducing IP-restriction gateway plugins, and raising test coverage from 65% to 87%. Comfortable across stacks from mobile to full-stack prototypes, he pairs developer ergonomics (config and audit systems) with performance-focused changes (NATS/JetStream, Redis Streams). Based in Abu Dhabi, he blends startup grit with production-scale engineering and a curiosity-driven attitude summed up by his GitHub motto: Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
