Rafal Golarz's personal website

I'm a software engineer since 2005, and this site is primarily for recruiters and engineers involved in the recruitment process.

I created this site in 2014 to make the recruitment process more efficient. At the time, many job offers I received were either not relevant to my experience or didn't align with my expectations, so, I always asked recruiters to visit For recruiters page first, where I tried to address the most common questions typically asked in the first phase of interviews.

Over the years, the percentage of recruiters and engineers who visited my page before contacting me has grown from about 10% to 75%, so I believe it serves its purpose.

A short summary of my core skills:

  • Go and Kubernetes since 2017
  • GCP, AWS (managed primarily via Terraform)
  • PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, MongoDB, Redis, MySQL, Memcached
  • RabbitMQ, GCP Pub/Sub
  • Working fully remotely since 2014
