EMAIL: cheeikhseck@gmail.com

Go engineer since 2017, shipping backend systems since 2014.

I've built the unglamorous kind — warehouse management, parcel tracking, banking integrations, real-time dashboards over WebSockets, Twilio and Outlook integrations, PDF and spreadsheet generation. Systems that had to stay up and be correct, not systems that had to demo well. I've done it as a founder, as a senior engineer, and as the person who owns a problem end to end rather than a ticket.

For the last two years I've been building AI tooling in Go, because that's where the interesting backend problems moved: an AI coding agent (godex), a browser side-panel assistant (lite-agent), a taint analyser built on Go's SSA package (leakcheck), and an EBNF-based validator for LLM tool calls. I write about Go regularly — measured teardowns of things I built, including the parts that broke.

Looking for a backend or platform team where Go is the default.

Happy to do a trial task. Email me.

cheikhdevon You can build an AI agent's memory layer with only Go's standard library

Im still refining it. I ll keep this in mind for future posts.

Use a model. Knowing how it works with a simple example is cool though

II appriciate the feed back but 've essentially promoted myself to an editor. Where liteagent.cloud gives me 20 - 30 ideas and I pick the best ones and proof read for coherence.

The process is not as simple as prompting, each post takes atleast 48 - 72 hours to polish and submit
