Tai VONG — Backend and Platform Engineer

Portfolio LinkedIn Email


I lead engineering teams and stay close to the code. My work sits where backend architecture, production debugging, data correctness, and delivery pressure meet.

I am most useful when a system has a high-impact failure that is intermittent, expensive, or supposedly “impossible.”

symptom → reproduce → find the broken invariant → make the smallest safe fix → verify → observe

🔍 Production rescue

Trace difficult failures, restore invariants, close test gaps, and leave the system easier to operate than I found it.

⚙️ Backend & platform

Design and harden Go, gRPC, distributed workflows, APIs, observability, cloud infrastructure, and delivery systems.

🧭 Technical leadership

Turn ambiguous technical risk into clear decisions, executable plans, readable systems, and stronger engineering teams.

Tools I reach for

Go gRPC Kubernetes PostgreSQL Redis Kafka GCP AI agents

The tools change. The standard does not: clear contracts, explicit failure modes, descriptive code, and verification before confidence.

Building in public

A production-oriented Go framework for gRPC and REST services. It packages server lifecycle, structured errors, authentication, request tracing, logging, Prometheus metrics, configuration, and localization into composable components.

What it optimizes for

✓ predictable service lifecycle
✓ explicit error contracts
✓ observable requests
✓ composable infrastructure
✓ production ergonomics

A little signal, not a wall of charts

GitHub contribution summary

Work with me

I am open to selected consulting, contract, and technical collaboration outside my full-time role:

  • Backend reliability diagnostic — find the failure mode, risk, and safest path forward.
  • Go/gRPC hardening sprint — make a service safer to ship and easier to operate.
  • Architecture and technical-risk review — turn uncertainty into prioritized decisions.
  • Fractional technical leadership — hands-on direction without a full-time hire.
  • AI engineering workflow audit — coding agents with real review and verification gates.

Have a difficult backend problem? Send me the system context, symptom, and business impact.
