I am Lance Armah-Abraham.
Backend & Cloud Engineer focused on building reliable systems, cloud-native services and developer tooling.
Currently sharpening my skills in Golang, linux-first systems and designing reliable backend architectures while contributing to open source.

- Building production grade Golang projects (CLIs, services and system-aware tooling)
- Diving deep into Linux and cloud systems
- Making consistent, small open source contributions
- Sharing progress publicly as part of a structured learning journey
My Goal: move from a "Cloud generalist" to a strong backend and systems engineer with clear and reviewable artifacts
(This section will evolve as I work on new Go projects)
- [Project Name - coming soon] A Go-based CLI/service focused on cloud or system inspection. Go · Linux · Cloud
Backend & Systems
- Go (actively building and learning(
- Node.js, Python
- REST APIs, event-driven systems
- Authentication, authorization, security fundamentals
Cloud & DevOps
- Google Cloud (primary cloud and certified), AWS and Azure
- Serverless design & architecture
- CI/CD (Github actions and Google Cloud Build)
- Infrastructure & environment configuration with terraform

- Accessible UI development
- Testing (Vitest, Playwright)
I value open source as a learning and collaboration environment. I am focused on making small, practical contributions: bug fixes, documentation, tests, and tooling improvement.
This profile reflects an active transition toward backend & systems engineering. Expect frequent iteration.*
