Rafal Golarz's personal website

I'm a software engineer with a focus on distributed systems, low-latency networking, and backend architecture for online games. This site was created primarily for recruiters and engineers involved in the recruitment process but currently I'm rebuilding it to present my work and share some of my thoughts.

I'm very busy at the moment (05/2026), but I try to keep this site updated with my latest projects and insights.

A short summary of my core skills:

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